The letter below is my latest attempt to comment on the subject. So far none of the 30+ papers I have sent it to have run it.

Honor All Who Abolished Slavery and Brought Peace

Because the Confederacy’s existence was never politically recognized, Andrew Johnson and Jefferson Davis never signed a surrender document. The monuments recognize those who ended the war and slavery.

The bloodiest conflict our country ever endured, that resolved the issues of states’ rights, secession, and slavery, relied exclusively on military actions. These military actions were fought out to the last measure of human endurance. Great men like Grant, Sherman, Lee, and Johnston, and their soldiers resolved what should have been political issues. Monuments North and South testify to the sincerity of those few who endured the tragedy of that struggle.

Their involvement came after abolitionists and planters and their political allies failed to identify those positions outside their inflexible ideologies that would have brought peaceful agreement. Instead these fire-eating miscreants of both persuasions stumbled into the Civil War.

Now similar intellectual dwarfs would repudiate this history. Joshua Chamberlain https://en.wikiquote.org/wiki/Joshua_Chamberlain
