You miss the point. Robert E. Lee didn't experience the same degradation that this man went thru. It was a lot easier for him to be noble. (Though he would have been in similar circumstances, due to his nature.) As I said earlier, I don't think he literally hated the Declaration or the Constitution, rather focuses on those as elements of the "Glorious Union" I am reading BETWEEN the lines.

You haven't walked a mile in this man's moccasin's, so you might show just a shred of compassion. His words are insulting, but look at the emotion behind the words.

What degradations did this man go through that Lee did not?

You are offering excuses. I've read interpretations that suggest that Randolph's work was actually a sarcastic exaggeration of southern stalwarts post war, but I also believe that sometimes things mean exactly what they say. And I think that's the case here.
