You have to give Lincoln credit. He said he said if anything happened to him before the war ended, did not want Lee of Jeff Davis to be killed. By all rights they could have been shot as traitors to the Union. I think those two should have gotten a date with the hangman :nod:

Another example of kkklean's substitution of gut reaction for thought. Lee didn't relish fighting against the Union. He loved the Commonwealth of Virginia, and stayed loyal to his home state. Nor was he a race-baiter. Read a bio of the great man, Kleenex, before you string him up. :coffee:

I find it hilarious that you label all whites as rednecks when someone says something dumb, but the minute anyone talks disparagingly about a black guy/gal, the first thing you do is defend them to no end.

He was a traitor plane and simple. If he won then he would be a freedom fighter, but he lost. If MLK and Malcolm X took up arms in the 60's a killed over 300k white people in the Southern United States, would you consider them great men? NO you would not, you would consider them domestic terrorist. Don't start white washing u. S. history because you don't like the outcome.

IMO, you can't lump Malcom and MLK together. MLK was a great man. Malcom was a little bitch.

A horrible day because an essential principle was lost. That principle is that the States are sovereign. "States' Rights" was indeed the true path laid out by the Constitution.

I've seen, on a number of occasions, that the outcome of the Civil War settled the issue of "States' Rights." And it did. But it did not settle the issue as a matter or principle. It settled the issue in the sense that "might makes right." The Federal Government succeeded in bringing some States into line by brute force. And much more was lost than gained in the process because it left us with an all powerful central government.
Well at least some human rights came out of it. That was ok, wasn't it?

The fact that the end of slavery came out of the civil war was a great outcome. The fact that it also was the effective demise of the 10th amendment was not.

The other difference is that Lee was fighting for a cause that, at its roots, was a cause to keep slavery in existence. Washington, of course, had slaves, but his cause wasn't as focused, if at all, on keeping slavery around as Lee's cause was. Remember, the Civil War probably never happens if we didn't have slavery.
