"So far from engaging in a war to perpetuate slavery, I am rejoiced that Slavery is abolished. I believe it will be greatly for the interest of the South. So fully am I satisfied of this that I would have cheerfully lost all that I have lost by the war, and have suffered all that I have suffered to have this object attained." Robert E. Lee.

We are blessed that the Southern portion of our nation followed the intelligent, patriotic and moral leadership of Robert E. Lee and did not fall under the powers of one of the known figures of lesser quality and virtue who would have certainly attained nothing but the utter distruction of the entire nation.
