It astounds me that there are so many on this board who don’t understand what you wrote and hold on to a belief that Lee was somehow a traitor.
It is then that I realize that while I don’t know what the future holds, we will see times that Lee saw and it will be in many ways far far worse, and the outcome much more bleak.
America was pronounced terminal the day Stonewall died.
We’ve been in hospice ever since.
We have one foot in the ground and the other is falling fast.
What comes next won’t be nearly as tidy as reconstruction and the survivors won’t be nearly as useful. A new reality will come once the end arrives and those that remember Lee and our heritage will be all that remains of American civilization. Anyone that argues this point does not live in the South and won’t survive to see if I am right or wrong.
