Uh, yes they were trying to destroy the unity of the United States. Actually they were out there with guns leading other men to help them do it.

Also, instead of a black teacher it would be better to say a liberal apologist historian. Most of them have been as white as me.
Myth1184 doesn't stay in the ring...

Anyway, the unity of the U.S. was a relatively new concept and a test of the time. Even northerners sympathized with the notion of states rights. Lee was not so much against unity as he was more in favor of Virginia... It's not so hard to imagine, he was fighting for soil, for the homeland...

Either way, Grant still kicked his ass.
