Remembering Robert E. Lee: American Patriot and Southern Hero

[rdean]

Robert E. Lee was a great American. He deserves a holiday

CIVIL WAR OP-ED Remembering Robert E. Lee American Patriot and Southern Hero Huntington News

Sir Winston Churchill called General Robert E. Lee, “one of the noblest Americans who ever lived.”

Please let me call to your attention that Monday, January 19, 2015, is the 208th birthday of Robert E. Lee, whose memory is still dear in the hearts of many Southerners. Why is this man so honored in the South and respected in the North? Lee was even respected by the soldiers of Union blue who fought against him during the War Between the States.

What is your community doing to commemorate the birthday of this great American?

General Lee’s portrait adorns the State Capitol in Atlanta where the Georgia Division Sons of Confederate Veterans hosted their 1st Lee birthday in 1988. The SCV will host their annual Robert E. Lee birthday celebration on Saturday January 17, 2015 at Georgia’s Old Secession Capitol on Greene Street in Milledgeville. Read more at: 2015 Annual Robert E Lee Birthday Celebration

During Robert E. Lee's 100th birthday in 1907, Charles Francis Adams, Jr., a former Union Commander and grandson of US President John Quincy Adams, spoke in tribute to Robert E. Lee at Washington and Lee College's Lee Chapel in Lexington, Virginia. His speech was printed in both Northern and Southern newspapers and is said to had lifted Lee to a renewed respect among the American people.

Dr. Edward C. Smith, respected African-American Professor of History at American University in Washington, D.C. , told the audience in Atlanta, Ga. during a 1995 Robert E.

Lee was a great man. A true Statesman and brilliant military tactician. Too bad we didn't have more Robert E. Lees around these days.

You said: Too bad we didn't have more Robert E. Lees around these days.

We do. They are called "David Dukes without the baggage".

Nothing you've posted disproves the fact that in 1836 South Carolina enacted legislation that ceded Ft. Sumter to the Federal government.

It only sold the property to the federal government. It did not cede legal jurisdiction on the property to the federal government. It retained the right to enforce its laws.

The fact that you and the other Lincoln worshippers continue to ignore that facts shows that you're just a gang of dumb asses who don't give a damn about the facts.

It didn't sell the land. It ceded the land to the Federal government.

All that means is that it didn't charge the federal government any money. What it didn't do is give up legal jurisdiction over the land. You and your fellow imbeciles keep ignoring that fact.

Absolutely it means they gave up legal jurisdiction. They wanted the federal government to protect their little asses and they wanted the federal government to foot the bill to protect their little asses.

Wrong. From your document:

"Resolved, That this state do cede to the United States, all the right, title and claim of South Carolina to the site of Fort Sumter and the requisite quantity of adjacent territory, Provided, That all processes, civil and criminal issued under the authority of this State, or any officer thereof, shall and may be served and executed upon the same, and any person there being who may be implicated by law; and that the said land, site and structures enumerated, shall be forever exempt from liability to pay any tax to this state.

The state explicitly retained legal jurisdiction over the property.

No they didn't, you idiot.

Read it again.

The US had a clear title to the land.

On November 22, 1841, the Federal Government's title to 125 acres of harbor "land" recorded in the office of the Secretary of State of South Carolina.

Oh that's embarrassing (for ravi). And me too. How did you find that? I need me some reading glasses!

Actually, one of the Lincoln cult members posted it to this thread. They didn't read it very carefully,

Oh, that's a relief because the last link Ms. Thing gave me led to a a long block of junk. Tried to make sense of it but couldn't.

It appears your idiocy is deliberate. What part of

Provided, That all processes, civil and criminal issued under the authority of this State, or any officer thereof, shall and may be served and executed upon the same, and any person there being who may be implicated by law;​

don't you understand?

 

[paperview]

South Carolina wasn't a sovereign nation at the time.

It never was a sovereign nation but it gave up land to the Federal government in 1836.

You idiot again. If it wasn't a sovereign nation and then it had no authority to cede or not cede land to Congress. You can't have it both ways.

Hey dumb butt. It was a state. It had the ability to give up state land, or what they perceived to be state land, to the federal government.

No, moron. If it was a state then no permission was required. If permission was required then that would make SC a sovereign nation. You got yourself twisted into a rhetorical pretzel.

This is true, and I'm glad you admit it. No permission was needed, South Carolina was just trying to get itself out from under having to pay to protect themselves. And not pay taxes on the land. The federal government had every authority to possess the land and turn it into a federal fort...hahahahah! You lose, again.

Yes. That line meant that SC could legitimately prosecute a violation of their own state laws against any person who was harbored within Federal property of the Fort.
It didn't have anything to do with "uncedeing" the land they had just ceded.

Wrong again. It says "Provided, That all processes, civil and criminal issued under the authority of this State." That means the property is subject to all the laws of South Carolina. SC could have expropriated the property if it desired.

 

[BlindBoo]

He doesn't meet the definition of traitor according to the definition in the Constitution.

'
No such definition is in the Constitution.

Another Lincoln cult member demonstrating his ignorance, I see:

ARTICLE III, Section. 3.

Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court.​

It's why I keep gleefully reminding these cultists that their god and savior was wasted by one of the thousands of men pissed off by what he did to their families and America. It really unnerves the demonic Left to be reminded that the man they worship had hot lead put into his melon.

J W Booth was a traitor to both the vanquished Confederate State and the United States.

Actually he was a hero in the South. Now you know.

No, he caused more pain in the South after he assassinated President Lincoln. He was and is reviled from one end of Dixie to the other, exceptions for the KKK types of course!

There would have been no war if Lincoln hadn't invaded Virginia.

Repetition doesn't actually create reality, wannabe traitor.

What you keep trying to hang your hat on is standard language (used in 1797 & 1803 as well...) It meant a lawbreaker or fugitive from South Carolina law can't use the Federal Fort and enjoy immunity. It gave South Carolina authorities the right to serve papers and arrest fugitives.

It meant that the Fort wasn't a sanctuary, not that both SC & the federal Government had dual authority over the Fort or that SC retained title to the land, dunce.

You're obviously full of shit. The evidence doesn't support your case so you just lie about it. "all processes, civil and criminal issued under the authority of this State" means all the laws of the state. What law would not be included in that description?

I'm done arguing with you about this subject because you refuse to admit obvious facts.

 

[CowboyTed]

USMB Republicans think he must have been a Democrat since he fought to keep slavery. They think that it was Democratic liberals who owned slaves and that Northern Republican Conservatives came in and freed the slaves. So clearly, being Republican, they must have been conservatives. It isn't clear why so many southerners today are conservative and so many northerners are liberal. They haven't managed to rewrite that part of history yet.
True Story.
And don't give me that shit that I'm making it up. Everyone here knows about all the posts that it was conservative Republicans who freed the slaves. They have been posted many times.

Let me break it to you, the Republican party initially was the more liberal, modernisation party of the North East... i.e Not Conservatives...

South Carolina fired the first shots. and they did so to protect the institution of slavery:

"The General Government, as the common agent, passed laws to carry into effect these stipulations of the States. For many years these laws were executed. But an increasing hostility on the part of the non-slaveholding States to the institution of slavery, has led to a disregard of their obligations, and the laws of the General Government have ceased to effect the objects of the Constitution. "
Avalon Project - Confederate States of America - Declaration of the Immediate Causes Which Induce and Justify the Secession of South Carolina from the Federal Union

"The new Constitution has put at rest forever all the agitating questions relating to our peculiar institutions—African slavery as it exists among us—the proper status of the negro in our form of civilization. This was the immediate cause of the late rupture and present revolution."
- Alexander Stephens - Vice President of the Confederacy

Alexander Stephens Reinforces The Cornerstone

Irrelevant. Firing of foreign troops trespassing on your territory is not an act of war.

You turds will repeat this mantra endlessly: "they fired the first shots. They fired the first shots. They fired the first shots." You obviously don't give a damn about the facts or international law. You're spewing Lincoln propaganda, just as they did 150 years ago.

Do you ever look at what you type before you click "post reply"?

One wonders how the troops were decided to be" foreign".

They were union troops. SC was a sovereign country after it seceded.

So you admit they fired first....ergo starting a war where no war existed beforehand. Sucks to be them....they started something they couldn't finish.

 

[RKMBrown]

It wasn't another country. No one recognized it as such.

You can't just let states take federal property. That is property of the whole of the people.

What if Kentucky decided to just declare independence and say, hey, Fort Knox belongs to us now. Too bad.

Can't do it. Besides, as I showed earlier, South Carolina ceded all rights to Fort Sumter in 1836. It wasn't hers to just take.

Nor were the forts and military instillations or the Mint filled with Gold they seized. Or the US Ships they fired on, and captured for their own use as Man of War vessels in January 1861.

You can't just go stealing federal government property and say: hey, it's ours now. Go fuck yourselves.

You mean we have to give back forts to the indians, british, mexicans, etc.? Who knew?

Newsflash: The South lost the Civil War.

Really? So when a state leaves a union there has to be a civil war killing millions to decide who gets the forts?

They were stealing property belonging to the whole of the country. There were committing insurrection and firing on Federal troops and property. When that happens, yes.

The Civil War answered the question.

ROFL.. yeah they were stealing their own state from the federal government so they had to be put to death.
