re: #65 Obdicut

I really don’t get people who not only pretend the South was defensible as a culture in the Civil War, but also that they won.

I wish I could tell you. I’m Virginia born and raised and the fact that we celebrated Jackson and Lee with MLK always irked me. One of the great men of not just our nation’s but our world’s history and a couple of traitors. And there’s no sugarcoating it honestly, Lee and Jackson both took an oath to the United States, and they broke it. They were traitors. Lee may have not been a war criminal like Nathan Bedford Forrest but he committed treason plain and simple. And before someone gives me oh he was just loyal to his state, I’ll raise you George Thomas, fellow Virginian and loyal Union man.
