"What is amazing and unique about the American experience of insurrection and rebellion is that the losers could get such favorable treatment for such inexcusable actions."

I suppose you would rail against the statement, "With malice towards none and charity for all..."

Lee and the rest of the Confederates were graciously welcomed back into the fold by the inspiration of the leader of the United States of America, President Abraham Lincoln. He understood something profound, that reconsiliation depended upon forgiveness...something you obviously cannot stomach. That is why, until the Black Race Baiters of the NAALCP started stirring things up a few years ago with meaningless rants against the Confederate Flag, the American Civil War had been unique in that on average, the North and South looked upon it with reverence as a shared heritage.

Now, thanks to folks like you, Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson and the rest of the Black Race Baiters and their White Apologists, the healed wounds are not only being reopened after more than 140 years, but your vile urine is being spewed into it to cause a fatal infection in the body of our Blessed Nation.

I am a proud Yankee who has profound respect for the South as well as the North.

What I can't stomach is the willful perversion of the record that is seen on FR every day.

Are you not going to call out the person on this thread who called Sherman a vicious murderer of everyone in his path?

Is that the sort of historical objectivity you approve of?
