Slavery, the Rebel flag and the shutdown

13. Lee didn't drag anyone on to the battlefield, they were enthusiastic about fighting because

they believed in their cause, that's true especially for the first few years.

Hundreds of thousands of Confederates fought and died for different reasons, many of them did believe the North would invade just as many Americans later bought the B.S. about Spain blowing up the Maine all the way to Iraq has WMDs.

Had Lee accepted Lincoln's offer after Virginia seceded, he would've been fighting and killing his own family, friends, neighbors and state.

You might actually believe killing your own family and friends constitutes a "good choice" but I seriously doubt it.

Your comparisons of Lee to Pol Pot, Hitler and Stalin are ludicrous, he never committed genocide but don't let the facts get in the way of your "righteous wrath."
