Opinion of Robert E. Lee

A traitor and a thug. HP.

FF. He stood by his state.

So then what were the anti-Confederate guerillas in eastern Tennesee, Winston County, Alabama, Central Texas and other such places?

Robert E. Lee was not a traitor. His home state of Virginia left the Union, therefore he felt obliged to leave. Had he not sided with Virginia, he would be a traitor.

FF is winning and people say this forum has a liberal bias?

I should cite this poll everytime someone accuses this of being a liberally-slanted form.

Or perhaps that they recognize Lee as one of the most civilized human beings this country has produced.

No, more like a traitor fighting for a wretched regime. Disgusting human trash just like every single person who fought for that abomination that is the Confederacy.

So once again then, what were the people in the South who engaged in guerilla warfare against the Confederacy? Were they traitors?

It's better to be a traitor to traitors (the South being a treacherous region) than your country. Also better to be a traitor to evil than follow evil. Was von Stauffenberg a traitor? Probably, but that doesn't mean I disapprove of his actions.

Don't pretend for a second though, that choosing not to fight against your own people and state is the absolute morally wrong position to take because your country had atrocious policies.

Sure it is. If some teabaggers took power in Minnesota and tried to seceed, I sure as hell wouldn't fight for my state. Hell I'd enjoy being treasonous and blowing up and putting bullets into teabagging filth, just like slaveowners.

Alfred Jodl pretty much chose just to stand by his country and its atrocious policies and never joined the Nazi Party. And he was executed for it regardless.
