“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.

How you could ever come to that conclusion is beyond me.

Washington and his men fought for independence so that they could rule themselves. Davis and his men fought for independence so they could own others.

I love Professor Walter Williams.

That does not surprise me at all.
