        @BeschlossDC Didn't Pres. Carter and Congress later grant him posthumous citizenship?

        @BeschlossDC @Moonbootica Several hundred thousand died horribly, thanks to him. But not "stateless," which must've been a consolation.

        @BeschlossDC Being on the wrong side of history is not always determinative of a man's greatness. Even the victors make grave errors.

        @BeschlossDC @michele_norris Are you sure that he lost his citizenship in the first place? Did the United States recognize the sovereignty

        @BeschlossDC ironic he left the Union to defend Virginia, and then never got to go home to Arlington, or remain a citizen of Virginia.
