Then we can forever dismiss the notion that the North was fighting for some moral cause.

I think fighting for your country against the forces of a rebellion trying to tear it apart is a moral cause.

“I think fighting for your country against the forces of a rebellion trying to tear it apart is a moral cause.”

If this is an endorsement of King George, you make Professor Williams’ point.

His point being: “Confederate generals were fighting for independence from the Union just as George Washington and other generals fought for independence from Great Britain. Those who’d label Gen. Robert E. Lee as a traitor might also label George Washington as a traitor. I’m sure Great Britain’s King George III would have agreed.”

I love Professor Walter Williams.
