All the ones you have named are sell-outs, turncoats and unreliable, characterless people to one degree or another. There are no R.E. Lees, Forresters, or S.W. Jacksons in that crowd.

I'm going on what y'all turn out. So tell me where there are any Lees, Forrests(?) or Jacksons anywhere in the south today.

S.W. Jackson? Who's that?

You mean Thomas Jackson, known as Stonewall? How odd.

And Lee:

"The framers of our Constitution never exhausted so much labor, wisdom and forebearance in its formation, and surrounded it with so many guards and securities, if it was to be broken by every member of the Confederacy at will. It was intended for 'perpetual union' so expressed in the preamble, and for the establishment of a government, not a compact, which can only be dissolved by revolution, or the consent of all the people in convention assembled. It is idle to talk of secession."

R.E. Lee January 23, 1861

Robert E. Lee was a sell-out--he sold out the Union.

The only reason he wasn't tried for treason was due to the magnaminity of the victors.
