Actually, that was just one of the points that I tried to make to "varina davis", that even Lee knew the cause was wrong and only followed it because he could not bring himself to take up arms against his home state.
If you read the entire exchange between "varina davis" and I, you will see that it began with my dispute over a statement she made about in reference to a quote in the article. And while I attempted to argue from point of historical fact, she repeatedly side-stepped my arguments and questions and responded to me in an arrogant and condecending manner, implying that I simply wasn't "educated" enough to understand Southern concepts of "principle" and "honor". This brought me to Lee's defense when she essentially accused him (unwittlingly, of course) of being a liar with regard to a Lee quote regarding Grant which I used in making one of my arguments. When I boxed her into a corner she couldn't side-step, she falsely accused me of name-calling and of engaging in a "diatribe", before running home with her bag of marbles. The point of the final post speaks for itself.
