It appears then that I think more of him than you do!
But he supported the Union and you want it destroyed.

I wish you would read and consider more carefully what I post. I do not "want the Union destroyed" and have never said anything to suggest that. What I do strongly believe is that it was/is/would be the grossest evil to maintain a federation by force. I don't believe that Washington or his contemporaries would have countenanced that. Madison is on record in strong opposition to the possible use of such an action.
