General Cleburne: "Surrender means that the history of this heroic struggle will be written by the enemy; that our youth will be trained by Northern school teachers; will learn from Northern school books their version of the war; will be impressed by all influences and education to regard our gallant dead as traitors and our maimed veterans as fit subjects for derision."
General Lee: "If I had seen the use that these people desired to make of their victory, there would have been no surrender at Appomattox, no sir, not by me. Had I seen these results of subjugation, I would have preferred to die at Appomattox with my brave men, my sword in this right hand. I would have never surrendered the Army if I had known how the South would have been treated."
150 years of being treated like dirt will hopefully come to an end in a noble fashion.
