Lee followed VA because he felt that honor and duty dictated it. If VA had NOT voted to secede he would have commanded Union troops. Who is more American, any living liberal (also opposed to slavery) or Lee?

One can argue that sounds a lot like just following orders.
One small point. Modern Liberals’ forebears and their political home, the Democratic Party, were entirely for slavery, Segregation, Jim Crow, and created & used the services of an archetypal terrorist organization which went by the name of the Ku Klux Klan. Today they seem to have no issue at all with the one remaining bastion and support of human slavery, the religion of Islam. All this is why my patience with these sock cuckers’ frequent loud and public accusations of racism against folks like me is gone. And if one of them has the temerity to do it to my face they had better have a decent dental plan. Because their teeth shall fly.
