How is Robert E. Lee a "great American" when he engaged in treasonous rebellion against the U.S. government.

Answer this, then I will answer you.

How are Geroge Washington, Patrick Henry, Thomas Jefferson, etc..., great Americans when they "engaged in treasonous rebellion" against the British Crown?

Gotta go do some stuff - but will check back later for what you have on this.

It's a good question; nay an excellent question!

Get ready for a gazillion snippets that prove a pre-ordained point by these people. To them the founders were patriots and the Southerners were traitors just because they recognized that the central gov't had violated the contract established by the founders. All of the snippets will be about some sort of constitutional this or that. Never mind that an entire region of the coutry was being manipulated and drained of its wealth to fund Northern despotism.

We do not owe our allegiance to the British Crown. We (and I exclude you for the time being) are loyal Americans. Which nation do you represent ?
