You are entitled to your smug, small-hearted, and — I would assert — ahistorical view of outstanding men such as Robert E. Lee, Thomas Jonathan “Stonewall” Jackson, and James Longstreet, to name a few.

You should be congratulated, you pulled the hate and bile out of one of the Lincoln Coven for the whole world to see. The honesty of his remarks are refreshing.
