Because the agreement was that you wouldn't post to me...not the other way around. And since you pride yourself on your 'rightness', I just thought I would make sure you had all the facts.

Well, if it's facts you want then let me correct my earlier post and blow your theory right out of the water. Jacob Kobrick from Villanova wrote a paper on the failure of nationalism at antebellum West Point. His research showed that Rawle's book was used for a single year at West Point, 1826. While Lee would have been there but before Lee would have taken the Constitutional law course. In fact, the only confederate general or leader who might have taken that class was Albert Sidney Johnson. So if Lee ever heard of Rawle, he doesn't appear to have taken the course and could hardly be expected to be influenced by the book. Link.

Now, if you want to declare a joint cessation of posting to each other then I agree.

Some more of your take no prisoners attitude...

You think you got me. You don't. I deeply admire Robert E. Lee. That won't change because you blew my theory out of the water. The reason I asked you not to post to me anymore is I am tired of your hate toward anything Southern.

So, if you need to post one more time to me please have at... it will ust be more of the same.

Then we can stop posting to each other.
