[QUOTE="Buck Randall, post: 1632806, member: 38590"] Grant and Lincoln both believed in trampling the Southern cause without trampling the people, and in my opinion, were on the right track. Those that followed over the next 100 years messed it up horribly. CB, I truly can't understand how a patriotic American could believe in erecting statues to honor the men who fought to destroy the union, or wave a flag that stands for that cause. It's possible to acknowledge their military ability and their fighting spirit while also recognizing that their cause was rooted in our country's deepest evil, one which we should not celebrate. But heck, I'm just a yankee. [/QUOTE]
