Lee's fame was resurrected in Hamilton (The Musical) in the song Stay Alive:
Instead of me, he promotes Charles Lee
Makes him second-in-command
(I'm a general, whee!)
Yeah, he's not the choice I woulda gone with
He sh*ts the bed at the Battle of Monmouth
Everyone, attack!
Retreat!
Attack!
Retreat!
What are you doing, Lee? Get back on your feet!
But there's so many of them
I'm sorry, is this not your speed?
