[Jeff Head]

Probably the most loved and revered general in our history. Probably one of the most talented military minds in a general in our history as well. A man of supreme integrity, and great faith.

Offered the role of commander of the US forces of the north, he instead chose loyalty to his state and it’s rights over the Union.

But the Union had to hold and be preserved. History tells us that. A fractured US would have been ultimately overcome either before ten world wars, or during them and history would have been tragically altered and tyranny very possibly...most probably...have arisen to engulf the entire world.

That status belongs to George Washington. No Washington, no Lee and definitely no Patton.

Sorry, what I meant was if there no GW, who was a big influence on Lee, then Patton who also was related to General Lee wouldn’t have made an impact as one of the 3 greatest generals in American history.

The concept of "preserving" something with canister shot and minie balls is a little preposterous. That is an interesting preservation technique. Can the Union Uber alles talk, save it for your Yankee friends....
