To: stand watie
we know that you, as the Damnyankee Minister of Propaganda, post every possible piece of information, whether true or false, to attempt to destroy the reputation of all the heroes of southerners.

And we all know that you as...whatever the hell you are, will deny every possible piece of information, regardless of all evidence to the contrary, that you view as negative towards your sothron heros. Lee, Jackson, Stand Watie all owned slaves.

What existential or moral importance do you think we should attach to this statement?

Assuming arguendo that you are correct, what value does your statement have for the person reading American history? Is this information useful to know? If so, what is its utility for the modern American?

Careful where that leads, non-seq. Walt will be coming after you in a second. Turns out his hero John Marshall owned ten slaves: (Marshall, evil slave holder).

Even if they did, EVERY single founding father in the federal and state conventions that agreed to ratification - signed off on slavery as being legal.

Every single one.
