Today's politicians are tiny, buzzing gnats compared to these giants of Christian character.
Unlike his northern counterpart, Ulysses S. Grant, General Lee never sanctioned or condoned slavery. Upon inheriting slaves from his deceased father-in-law, Lee immediately freed them. And according to historians, Jackson enjoyed a familial relationship with those few slaves which were in his home. In addition, unlike Abraham Lincoln and U.S. Grant, neither Lee nor Jackson ever spoke disparagingly of the black race.Praise for Lee and Jackson, by Chuck Baldwin
I'd like to think that if they could travel through time to our day, Lee and Jackson would see the error of taking up arms against King Lincoln and his mercantilist invaders, and leaving 700,000 dead.
