F#CK Rich Lowry!

Those Confederates he speaks of were just AMERICANS with a different opinion.

The Confederate politicians and a few rich plantation owners MAY have been fighting to preserve slavery, but the average Confederate Soldier and their officers were fighting for their rights, STATES RIGHTS!

Lowry's a life-long denizen of the Beltway. Born in Arlington, VA, went to UVa, worked in DC after college, never left.

It's a different mindset when you're DC centric. Words like honor, courage, and integrity are just words in DC.

I never cared a whit about Jefferson Davis, but that's not the point. This headlong rush to whitewash our history is no different than what the Taliban were doing just a few years ago.

were fighting for their rights, STATES RIGHTS!

What States Rights did the Buchanan Administration violate so badly that secession from the United States was the only answer?
