Kelly Was Right About General Robert E. Lee: A Champion of States Rights And Christian Ethics
by
General Kelly spoke Tuesday of Civil War General Robert E. Lee, a great American hero of a legacy American family, a defender of states’ rights, and a man of great moral, Christian ethics. Naturally, the history-devoid leftist MSM lost their minds.
“I would tell you that Robert E. Lee was an honorable man. He was a man that gave up his country to fight for his state, which 150 years ago was more important than country. It was always loyalty to state first back in those days. Now, it’s different today, but the lack of an ability to compromise led to the Civil War, and men and women of good faith on both sides made their stand where their conscience had them make their stand.”
General Kelly hit on a supremely important topic: states’ rights. States’ rights were a primary instigator for the Civil War and were, in fact, far more important to the sparking of conflict during the 1860s than slavery itself, because slavery (and the economic implications) was an embedded issue within the topic of states’ rights. The defense of regional sovereignty was the primary issue of the day, and to that end, when Kelly noted that Lee chose loyalty to his state, as opposed to country, he was touching on the honorable nature of the general.
