It must piss you off to no end to know that Lee took communion with a freed Black man.

Now, thumper, why would that piss anybody off?

All in all, when it comes to anything “Confederate”, Lee was a much, much better man than you could ever hope to be.

Lee was a much better man than you could ever hope to be either and most of the rest of us, for that fact.

Lee would’ve shaken the hand of Lincoln,

Now, you see, this is precisely how revisionist history gets started.

Are you unfamiliar with how Lee came to despise the yankees to the point that all he would call them was 'those people'?

Yet unlike yourself, Lee was a GENTLEMAN first and foremost.

He had the class to at least TRY to get the south to realize it lost the war and stopped what would have been a further massacre of the Confederate troops and people.

Not that I expect you to see reason or anything but whatever history you conjure up behind your keyboard, and I truly can’t wait until you assail my conservative credentials (LOL) because I won’t go in lockstep with your wannabe-ism.

Yet you seem to be unfamiliar with the fact that the South lost the war, and the South finally accepted that they couldn’t terrorize a segment of the population back into submission. Stop living in the failed past of your delusions and join the world as it really is. Like Pelosi and company, you guys lost and for good reasons.
