Well, yes, GW did fight for the insurrectionists. That’d be OUR (America’s) side. Lee fought for the insurrectionists. That’d be the confederacy’s side. So are you a Confederate or an American?

I would imagine he’s an American.

And the principle we adopted in declaring our independence was that it was a God given natural right of mankind. One would think that would have been thereafter the accepted American position on the question, wouldn't you think?

The nation was founded as a Confederacy. 13 slave owning states broke away from a Union (United Kingdom) and formed a confederacy in which their armies were led by a slave owning general from Virginia, while the Union they were leaving offered freedom to their slaves.

Quite similar to what happen "Four Score and Seven Years" later.
