There was a secession, which resulted in a Constitution, Congress, courts, etc. That government's military foolishly attacked an American fort, which resulted in a war.
That's a lot of babbling for an idiot, who wrote it for you?
What?

That man is seriously fucked up, he has been Californicated good and proper.
TDS is just one of his mental ailments...
On April 9, 1865, Lee finally had to admit that he was trapped. At the beginning of Lee’s long, combative retreat by stages from Grant’s overpowering numbers, he had 64,000 men. By the end they had inflicted 63,000 Union casualties but had been reduced themselves to fewer than 10,000.
To be sure, there were those in Lee’s army who proposed continuing the struggle as guerrillas or by reorganizing under the governors of the various Confederate states. Lee cut off any such talk. He was a professional soldier. He had seen more than enough of governors who would be commanders, and he had no respect for ragtag guerrilladom. He told Col. Edward Porter Alexander, his artillery commander, . . . the men would become mere bands of marauders, and the enemy’s cavalry would pursue them and overrun many wide sections they may never have occasion to visit. We would bring on a state of affairs it would take the country years to recover from.”
“And, as for myself, you young fellows might go to bushwhacking, but the only dignified course for me would be, to go to Gen. Grant and surrender myself and take the consequences.” That is what he did on April 9, 1865, at a farmhouse in the village of Appomattox Court House, wearing a fulldress uniform and carrying a borrowed ceremonial sword which he did not surrender.
Chester wrote. “There was a general rush of the small crowd to shake hands with him. During these manifestations not a word was spoken, and when the ceremony was through, the General bowed and ascended his steps. The silence was then broken by a few voices calling for a speech, to which he paid no attention. The General then passed into his house, and the crowd dispersed.”

Talking of the military, I think that General Bullshit is a suitable sobriquet for him.
He will never rise to the rank of General. He doesn't have the balls. He's all talk.

You don’t understand that in order to be a good leftist and a good TransRighty that is given a pat on the head by leftists one must analyze the past through a 2019 lens without any context
As has been pointed out, it would appear that leftists and jihadists have a penchant for tearing down historical monuments
One could argue that the democrat party is on,y tearing down its own past?

You are unfamiliar with the Confederate government?
The important point is that Trump is bringing up and celebrating a general who fought against the US government
in the civil war. He does this shit intentionally to maintain his cred with his NAZI, neoconfederate, old white redneck base.
It's disgusting we have a President who stoops so low. Not only that, it's patronizing to the morons. You think Trump has
read Battlecry of Freedom or other reputable source and even cares or knows any of the history of that war? Hell no.
He is exploiting your worst instinct, rubes. The lowest part of what makes you the ignorant evil hillbillies that you are.

Yes, I am aware of their intentions once detached.

Well, VP Alexander Stephens famously gave a speech where he declared that slavery was the cornerstone of the new nation. Of course, we all know that the CSA was actually built upon opposition to abuses committed by America...

jimmymccready That is one of the more stupid posts of the day.
Another Sailor post out of context, which makes no sense.
So I will add it below.
Yes, Lee was a great general. I suppose Patton being maligned is similar to Lee. Lee was non-political. He was pro-Virginia.
