A strict constructionist.
A constitutionalist.
A conservative.
An unreconstructed Reb.
A Southron.
Take your pick.
And you won't find a 'liberal' in the bunch, unlike you and your ilk.
Before you sling that ‘your side embraces traitors’ charge against General Thomas once again, you might want to take another look at some of the rebel leadership. Josiah Gorgas, head of the army’s munitions branch? Born in Pennsylvania. Archibald Gracie, rebel brigadier general? Born in New York City. His family’s house in currently the official resident of the mayor. Bushrod Johnson, Major General? Born in Ohio. John Pemberton, Lieutenant General? Born in Pennsylvania. Albert Sidney Johnson? Born in Kentucky. Rebel generals born in Maine and Massachusetts and New Jersey and New York and you name it. Are you going to label them ‘traitors’ as well?
