(Sully) did some truly deplorable and heinous things that shouldn't be glossed over

What are these deplorable and heinous things?

Hell, he admitted the first female student at TAMU. Personally, I consider that a Good Thing on the scales of life.

The man was raised in the North. Neither he nor his family ever owned a slave, as far as I have been able to determine.

He fought for his adopted state at a time when most considered allegiance to state more important than allegiance to the central government. The unit under his command won a big battle at Yazoo City in which they killed a lot of enemy soldiers. I see no problem with that. Killing the enemy is what soldiers DO ... unless many of those enemy soldiers happen to be Black, apparently. In that case, you should allow the enemy to kill you. Then you will not be "heinous."

OK, that was a bit tongue-in-cheek, but what were these "heinous things" that Sully did? I am genuinely curious.
