If he HAD...HE would have been leading instead of LEE!

Lee was willing to see an end to democratic goverment; Washington was not.

A comparison of the record will NOT reflect well on traitor Lee.

Consider this very carefully:

Washington, towards the end of his life, said that he never wished to trade for another slave.

Lee, with all the softening that generations could and should have brought, wrote in 1865 (when events were passing him at a comet's speed) that the best relationship between blacks and whites was that of slave and master.

There is NO NONE NADA comparisons between Lee and Washington, and one of history's great questions is why Lee would retreat from the positions that Washington held.

Wrong again...

The Confederacy had an almost identical Constitution, with the exception of a line-item veto, and protection for slave owners.....

And I think Washigton would have agreed with the South....
