Yeah, but he said a few things contrary to that, so we must ignore his far more consequential actions.

Dinesh D'Souza doesn't understand 'facts' or 'logic.'

Yeah. For god’s sake, what did he think was the prize of victory if the Confederacy succeeded in the war?

The old "I oppose slavery, but I'll fight and kill thousands of people to preserve it" argument.

Lee was always a symbol of secession, that's why Maj. Gen. Montgomery Cunningham Meigs started burying Union dead at Arlington in 1864.

You should have seen the look on Lee's face when he *learned that*. Boy was he chagrined. He and Grant had a good laugh about it.

And he was given the choice: Lincoln asked him to lead union forces, yet he chose the side seceding to preserve unfettered rts to own humans

Nope. He was trying to undo the Confederacy from the inside. (Sarcasm)

Wow this guy is so outside the box. Can a TED talk be far away?

That's correct, yes.

Um, aren't you taking issue with a point made by a convicted felon?

NO SHUT UP IT WAS ABOUT STATES’ RIGHTS

I remember when Dinesh visited my college around 2005 and blamed the left for 9/11. He has such a cute worldview.

Yes. @DineshDSouza is an idiot apologist for the very people who would keep him out of the US and he does it to sell books and make money.

It's hard to take his opposition to slavery very serious when he OWNED FRICKING SLAVES!

You mean the traitor who resigned his commission in the United States Army to pick arms against that same army...that Lee?
