Not to mention that his home became Arlington Cemetery. Seeing the Iwo Jima memorial sent chills down my spine. The magnitude of the memorial is awesome.

Just a guess here, but most of what you've been taught about every single aspect of American history has been full of distortions and lies.

Addendum to #122: In public schools that is.

Although he saved the nation (and I DO give him credit for that), Lincoln ignored the Constitution. Just a minor detail, that, I reckon.
Actually, he turned the Constitution upside down.

You have to decide what you want to study about the WBTS: strategy, tactics, military, leaders, weapons, politics, constitutional, international views, battles, campaigns, cavalry, cultural, army, navy, women, spies, conspiracy, etc.
Lots of topics to learn about!

Probably quite true. My teachers have been really good and conservative but the material... don't know

WBTS Sorry, what is that. YEah, so many topics to read. Already have way too many Christmas books including Tanks, Traitors, and Rome.

It is well known Grant was intimidated by General Lee. Those sound like jealous words - if you'll remember the paths of both men after the War it makes sense.

"Some of us care to think he fought on the RIGHT side!"
He fought on the wrong side and admitted as much before his death. But he's still one of the greatest Americans ever.

Well known by whom? Grant never showed a sign that he was intimidated by Lee. Quite the contrary, Grant never atopped attacking Lee and finally won out.
To: yarddog
OK, which particular thing that I said was false? Certainly not the quote from Grant's book. The rest came from the history books. I didn't make it up.
To: wagglebee
For that, I salute you. General Lee was a courteous man.

General Lee was a courteous man. And Grant was an uncultured drunk, though he was less sadistic than Sherman.

"I am still puzzling whether the seceding states were still part of the Union or not. If not, then what authority did Lincoln have there?"
Congratulations! You have just placed yourself into Lincoln's shoes. His take on the matter was that secession was illegal. He spent his whole first term on emphasizing that belief. He paid the ultimate price for that in the end.

I believe that Lee fought FOR Virginia and her sovereignty, he was heartbroken to fight against the United States.
