“Myth - unless you can provide primary sourced data.”

Sourced data?
How about the words of people who were alive then?
My great-great aunt who prepared a meal for Fitz Lee the day after the surrender.
She herself told me to think of myself first as a child of Christ, second as a Virginian, third as a man of honor and anything else after those three.

Or my great aunt on my fathers side who grew up in the aftermath of the war. She told me many times we were Virginians first, American second.
That was also the attitude of all the older people I grew up around.
They revered God the Father, God the Son and God the Holy Spirit.
They reserved the spot next for General Lee. Then Gen Thomas J Jackson, then JEB Stuart.

My great aunt was a school teacher in her youth. She said that the country was still divided until WW2 and if that war hadn’t come along we would still be divided along the old lines. This was before the hippies.

From some of the comments I’ve read on this thread we are still divided along those old lines, just covered with a thin vaneer that easily cracks.

Good day.

Ignore these fools

This is all they are on this forum for

A waste of space

It would be great to have Nolu Chan back to expose who they really are.

They are all cowards nobody can vouch for them except maybe one another from their freepmail

Look at their homepages...nada

I don’t know anyone in the real world who claims to be conservative and says the things they do....I’m old I know a lot of conservatives especially given where I live

Btw look at who donates to this joint

You won’t find any of them who donate much

Of course they will claim anything

After all it’s the internet

So many have eventually been exposed as libs it’s ridiculous

Churchill and Reagan were fond of Lee as is Trump

But this canal of south haters know better...it’s laughable
