So very much is lost in the confines of liberalism of a Ken Burns fiction on the Civil War or the huzzah of the historian neglecting to provide the realities of facts, that this Lame Cherry in exclusive matter anti matter reminds Americans of what they once were.
Two of the greatest men for national union of these United States were the Confederates of Robert Lee and Thomas Jackson.
Before all the drama took place Robert E. Lee counseled against secession and Stonewall Jackson urged that all the states seek their rights inside the Union and not outside of it.
That is a reality which is lost in all of this, in rebels, as this was not, not a love of country, but a complete love of country for as Virginia went, General Lee and General Jackson went as they could not take up arms against their own nation.
That might sound bizarre to a modern ear, but once upon a time in America, their State was their sovereign nation which took precedence over all other patriotic events. Gentlemen like Lee and Jackson could no more go into battle against their own nation than they would against God.
This is the reality of these brave men who as some have said were in this war Puritan and Cavalier, and yet thee entire American militia on both sides, was that mixture of the morality of Lee and Jackson and at the same time the brazen dash of Grant and Sheridan.
In a sharp reality, the American suffered far more in murderous death than any European army ever did. Losses of Americans often approached 70% while infamous charges of the Light Brigade did not top 50%.
These were all men doing things of honor, and yes at times they slipped to base natures on all sides, it is the shining example of Lee and Jackson as Americans which resounds as the greatest general and lieutenant in history as were George Washington and Anthony Wayne.
The reality is, for all the legislative terrorism which took place against the Southern states by Northerners who were bent on infliction, rather than resolution, and when their compromises came only added more of an explosive charge to the debate, that fanned into flames in Kansas as a prelude in that bloody era to what awaited America, that the leaders across the board on a national level loved America and her states.
General Lee never referred to the Union as an enemy. He would only call them "those people".
General Jackson was one of thee most devout men ever to wear any American uniform, for on the day he was mortally wounded, he was with hat off praising God for the victory which Providence had given him in a spectacular flanking attack on the Union forces.
Thomas Jackson's "foot cavalry" were thee greatest division in military history for their ability to march, assemble and attack, as adeptly as horse soldiers.
No one ever mentions in this modern era of condemning Confederate flags and the Southern cause that their leaders were for American union, as they fought with all effect for States rights as any good American would.
In Lee and Jackson were the Constitution and the Bill or Rights. They were fighting for the rights of Americans.
It would not have made any difference if the cause was slavery abolition in a direct attack upon the way the Southern states made a living, if it had been the North demanding that all Southerners give up mules as the Bible stated that was not to be done, for the South would have risen just the same as no state can be dictated to by any Federal or other States in what is legally taking place in their nation.
Too many people lose sight of what it is to be an American, and the extermination which took place on the Southern Cavalier is one which has had an erosive effect upon all Americans now, in being a cowed population that follows orders on command and hands over rights by despotic decree with absolutely no resistance.
For a reality, it would not have been that horrid of thing if the Confederates had won the war. The evolution of political thought would have in time, even with machinations of the European cartel, a ridding of the Southern States of slaves, because it was cheaper to keep a McCormick Reaper than feed a pile of slaves.
Technology would have in 50 years ended the slave trade in America, and as Canada was never annexed, a reality took place that by the Reagan era, a compact would have been produced uniting America, if in fact European threats had not already rejoined the Union and Confederate peoples to protecting their common American cause.
Thomas Jackson's war of extinction might have been a good amputation for America, as she never would have devolved into a modern slave nation importing Mexicans, based up upon the religious corporate barons who exploited the Indian nations, while promising white European imports the chance at 160 acres of land, which is now being robbed from them.
Exterminating the feudal state at it's roots would have saved America from socialists Woodrow Wilson and Franklin Roosevelt's involvement inf foreign wars.
The grave reality proven out, is America lost when it defeated the Confederates, and Ronald Reagan proved that as he was a States Rights facilitator meant to roll back that leviathan which has destroyed the American Republic by the financial arm of the European cartel.
There are no Robert Lee's or Thomas Jackson's, as when they attempt to arise the BATF murders them in Confederate War continued.
Robert Lee and Thomas Jackson were of the greatest Americans. They have been proven right in what they Constitutionally stood for as Ronald Reagan stood for the same rights of the People held in the sovereign states.
