Hey! I also added to that statement. But you conveniently didn’t take that up.
I retain a lot of ambivalence about both sides in the War.
I was recently told by a Southern sympathizer that one should always hand over a five dollar bill face down so as not to have to look at the face of Lincoln. I reminded him however that despite whatever shortcomings Lincoln may have had he was in fact a great writer, to which he replied, “Oh he had secretaries do that for him.” Though I rejoined about his writing the Gettysburg address en route on the back of an envelope.
Yet I know my loyalties when push came to shove would have been with the South for which I will never make an apology. Take it as you will.
In what way did you add to that statement?
