Except he wasn’t “our” greatest general. He was the military commander of an insurrectionist faction that took up arms against the United States of America.

No they didn't - if Lincoln hadn't invaded the South, there would have been no war. Do you think the Founding Fathers were wrong to separate from England? The misnamed 'Civil War' was not much different!

Having started the war only the Confederacy controlled where it would be fought. They have nobody to blame but themselves.

Well, yeah it was. But I agree on the "misnamed" part. For the first 60 or so years after the conflict it was officially referred to as "The War of Rebellion" or "The War of Southern Rebellion". I think we should go back to that.

Lincoln invaded the south? I don’t know where you went to school but you probably should try to get your money back.
