I see nothing wrong with his comments. I’m sure there were men and leaders during the Civil War who asked themselves “how did we let it come to this?” as they surveyed the carnage.
I agree with what you said. I’ve always thought that cooler heads SHOULD have prevailed but they didn’t and that’s sad....:(
I’m a Southerner and still have great respect for General Lee and his commanders and it enrages me to have this part of our history destroyed and I don’t know how we can stop this carnage (in a word) of destroying statues, changing names of streets or anything to do with the Civil War. It happened, it’s history, warts and all!!!
I love all our American history and am not a Southerner. My people did not wash up at Ellis Island until 1904 so we were not even around during The Civil War. I revere all Confederate and Union monuments and statues. All part of out great history, though the Civil War was a bloody couple of chapters.
It’s not being destroyed. Disrespected sure, but not destroyed.
