Pete, your writings indicate a sociopathology, meaning that you know right from wrong, but you don't care as long as you can get what youwant.
Bed wetter, your response indicates you have no reading comprehension skills. The next time you feel indigestion, ignore the warning labels on the Drano and drink at least a quart. I promise relief from all the pain you feel in life. Lord knows bed wetters like you cause more pain than you're worth.
Pete demonstrates the typical sociopath's behavior: ignore the data and attack personality.
I have nothing against Lee...but nobility?
How else do you describe it? There was nothing in it for Lee. He knew the South stood at a very serious disadvantage going into the conflict. And yet he followed his conscience. That is nobility.
Integrity? Wouldn't nobility have more to do with social class?
Abraham was a racist lol..thats a good one
Abraham Lincoln never believed in equality for blacks.
History News Network | Abraham Lincoln Never Believed in Racial Equality
Abraham Lincoln was a disgusting and despicable traitor. He committed treason and deserved to be hung. His head should have been placed on a pike until it was flyblown.
There: fixed it for ya.
There: reported.
Asswipe.
Go back and check the footnote and tell me who was speaking?
Careful, tool: I know the answer.
They were both speaking, Fakey. That's what happens when you have a conversation with someone. General Butler relayed the details of a conversation he had with Lincoln. We can choose to believe the good general, or we can choose to believe you. Which do you think we are going to do?
Thought so. You have no idea who recorded the "conversation."

They didn't have tape recorders in 1865, Fakey.
If nothing else, Lee was dishonorable in standing with and fighting for the traitorous confederacy when he could have led the Union army and brought far greater honor to his name than that very considerable amount which he had already accrued and subsequently squandered. He was against slavery and secession, but still chose to stand with traitors. A bad call of historical proportions.
All that having been said, these 'students' likely knew all this before they even applied to the college so they are probably just trying to pad their 'lefty' resume in preparation for careers as douchebags upon graduation, should they get that far.

No, Lee was not 'traitorous'.
"Reported?" what does that mean? Did you tattle on me to a sysop or something?

It's against TOS to change people's posts.

No, Lee was not 'traitorous'. Lee stood for what was right and for how the United States was set up. The States created the Federal Government to serve the States, not for the States to be subservient to the United States Government. The States were to remain Sovereign in everything except in the powers specifically granted the Federal Government by the States via the Constitution of The United States. No where in the Constitution is the Right to Secede prohibited to the States, therefore the Right to Secede remains with the States. Add to that the Declaration Of Independence and it's clear, the States were within their Rights to secede from what they saw as a tyrannical and oppressive Government.
Asa May, one of the largest Planters in Jefferson County Florida was secretly schooling his 'slaves', whom he chose to call his 'people', to read, write, and do basic math to prepare them for eventual freedom. He inherited slaves and was never comfortable with the idea of one man owning another. Ending slavery wasn't as simple as just telling slaves, "Hey, you're free, get off my property or pay rent". Many suggestions were offered by slave owners as to how to peacefully end slavery. All were rejected by the Northern controlled Congress to placate their radical abolitionist supporters, and to keep the money coming into their campaign coffers from the rich textile mill owners.
I'm not denying there were hard core slave owners who were against anything that freed any slaves, but that it was more complicated than just suddenly freeing all the slaves to survive on their own. Reality is, the way it was done led to 100 years of conflict that is still being experienced today in some places.
Spin it any way you choose, it was a National disaster caused by politicians. You can not polish a turd, and turds are all politicians produce.
Section 10.
No state shall enter into any treaty, alliance, or confederation; grant letters of marque and reprisal; coin money; emit bills of credit; make anything but gold and silver coin a tender in payment of debts; pass any bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law impairing the obligation of contracts, or grant any title of nobility.
No state shall, without the consent of the Congress, lay any imposts or duties on imports or exports, except what may be absolutely necessary for executing it's inspection laws: and the net produce of all duties and imposts, laid by any state on imports or exports, shall be for the use of the treasury of the United States; and all such laws shall be subject to the revision and control of the Congress.
No state shall, without the consent of Congress, lay any duty of tonnage, keep troops, or ships of war in time of peace, enter into any agreement or compact with another state, or with a foreign power, or engage in war, unless actually invaded, or in such imminent danger as will not admit of delay.
Section 3.
New states may be admitted by the Congress into this union; but no new states shall be formed or erected within the jurisdiction of any other state; nor any state be formed by the junction of two or more states, or parts of states, without the consent of the legislatures of the states concerned as well as of the Congress.
The Congress shall have power to dispose of and make all needful rules and regulations respecting the territory or other property belonging to the United States; and nothing in this Constitution shall be so construed as to prejudice any claims of the United States, or of any particular state.
This Constitution, and the laws of the United States which shall be made in pursuance thereof; and all treaties made, or which shall be made, under the authority of the United States, shall be the supreme law of the land; and the judges in every state shall be bound thereby, anything in the Constitution or laws of any State to the contrary notwithstanding.
The Senators and Representatives before mentioned, and the members of the several state legislatures, and all executive and judicial officers, both of the United States and of the several states, shall be bound by oath or affirmation, to support this Constitution; but no religious test shall ever be required as a qualification to any office or public trust under the United States.

No, Lee was not 'traitorous'.
He stood with traitors. He fought for traitors and the evil they would defend at the cost of this nation when he could have led the Union forces and added to his considerable honor while defending his own beliefs. I imagine he was a man who understood that choices have consequences.
Thought so. You have no idea who recorded the "conversation."

Tape recorders are not the only way to "record" a conversation, genius.
Lincoln most certainly held some racist views, as did just about everyone at that time - but the Colonization plan (this is the important part) -- was (and Bri and his fellow neo-confederates know this, but repeat the lie) --
Voluntary. <---- Real important element
Very often, Lost Causers and those who use words like Lincoln the Tyrant present an image of the Colonization plan (which was borne of the abolitionists) -- as one of a forced deportation. That's not true.
It would have been voluntary.
