My opinion of Ike just went up.

The most outstanding thing that Robert E. Lee did was to devote his best efforts to the destruction of the United States Government

The letter writer obviously did not know his history.

The CSA never sought to destroy the US government,only to secede from it.Had the South won, the US would still have existed....but somewhat smaller.

Mine too.

Keep in Mind that A View of The Constitution By William Rawle, It Was Lee's guide to understanding the U.S Constitution the argues that Secession was in fact right and it was the will of the states the book was legal text booked used at West Point.

My dad, a fellow FReeper, has a very high opinion of Ike. He argues that Ike made it OK to vote for a Republican in the South. Millions of men followed him to war and when he ran in 1952 it was the first time many Southerners had voted Republican.

My opinion of Ike just went up.

Same here. Nice to know there were a few seminar trollers in the 50's too. ;^)

[Protagoras]

My opinion of Ike just went up.

So did mine. And it started from the roof to begin with.

[OldCorps]

Ike was a great man. Of course his description fits Stonewall Jackson to a T.

[ZULU]

So did mine.

Great response by Ike to an historical imbecile.
