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?
I am reading BETWEEN the lines.
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.
