The Great Hero of the South? He was cartographer, a "topographic engineer" on Stuart's staff.
And in case it eluded you, my version is a direct parody of Randolph. Of course, I'm not surprised that his sentiments about hating the United States, the Constitution, and the Freedmen's Bureau would strike a sympathetic chord with you.
In the full version Randolph talks about how he hates the Declaration of Independence as well as the Constitution and anything and everything to do with this country. Yet he stayed and made a living as a Baltimore lawyer and writer. I hope his legal talents were better than his literary ones were. For his client’s sake if nothing else.
Spare me the history lesson. I don't need it from a brainwashed fool.

Confusing love of the Central Government with love of your country/republic is the mistake that may cost us all dearly, the Yankee paradigm. Kissing and kowtowing the Federal beast, though humiliating, can be comforting to the faint of heart.
