Please don't let this turn into an anti-Lincoln rant. We can celebrate the goodness of Lee without vilifying his opponents.

And all this time, I thought that FreeRepublic was a forum to discover truths; dispel myths; celebrate the essence of the reprensentative democracy we are supposed to reside in; extoll the virtues of those who fought for and revered the United States Constitution. Forgive me for misunderstanding.

I will second that! Lee was much to great a man to stoop down to the level of "those people" (as he used to say).

An old adage holds that when a preacher and a fool are in a field arguing, it's hard to tell which is which.

Let's celebrate Lee's honor, nobility, and sense of duty.

No rant needed; however, the false mythology must be corrected.
