It disgusts me that you can't have pride in your heritage without recognizing that Lee and the Southern cause were evil.

And with that one line, there is nothing more to say.

For me there is great honor and dignity in Robert E. Lee. Hw was not an evil man. Neither was Stonewall Jackson or JEB Stuart. Anyone reading their life stories will know that to be true.

You don't need to respond back. I already know where you stand. I just wanted you to know that I stand proudly with the three men that I mentioned.

The north wants to wrap itself in the cloak of moral superiority. I wonder if the war would have turned out differently if Lee had been willing to make aggressive war on an undefended civilian population and leave a trail of pillage, starvation and smoldering wreckage in his wake as did Sherman, Sheridan, and Grant (among others)? These actions we would condemn today as war crimes. So you have to ask yourself - did the civilized side win?
