"But, but, but...how did his image get on the Great Seal of the so-called CSA, him being a big Union man and all?"

You keep referring to this. What has it got to do with anything? Did the Confederates have no right to respect George Washington?

I guess I just wonder how they could respect him more than you do. Didn't he do anything noteworthy in your eyes?

"That was the same Union that he urged an 'immoveable attachment'to"

But I think he would have been absolutely revulsed by the notion that such attachment would have been maintained by force.

"I guess I just wonder how they could respect him more than you do. Didn't he do anything noteworthy in your eyes?"

Don't you bother to read before you respond? I told you, I have great respect for George Washington, I just don't believe that he was infallible. So both of the premises of your questions are false. Like Non-Seq, you continually set up straw men.
