re: #39 Timothy Watson

We could use some more statues of John Brown.

What pisses me off as a descendant of a Union veteran is that the CSA gets romanticized to the point of nausea and this bs notion that they had to choose their state. Every state and territory sent volunteers in 1861. Lee should not get excused because Virginia seceded. There were plenty of Virginia Union men and women. Doesn’t mean I think he’s akin to Nathan Bedford Forrest but he’s not the good Saint Robert of Lee that the Lost Cause wants him to be.
