Great American Robert E. Lee has a birthday today. The mainstream / lamestream media tries to shove General Lee down the memory black hole. I disagree!

civil was, robert e. lee, war between the states

January 19th is the birthday of Robert E. Lee, who commanded the Confederate military in the War Between the States. Did you know that Lincoln asked General Lee to command the union army before the start of the war? Some people call this conflict the Civil War, but they are not correct. A civil war is between 2 or more factions from the same country for political control. The US War Between the States was a war of succession or independence, much like the America succession from England in 1776 – a conflict we call the War for Independence.

Happy Birthday, Robert E. Lee

martin luther king, MLK Day, robert e. lee

January 18, 2010 is MLK Day or Civil Rights Day as it’s known in Az. We government workers have a holiday on that day. Thanks MLK! I like holidays!  Since we are commemorating persons who affected US history, there’s a great American who’s birthday is this week too. General Robert E. Lee. Let’s not forget him, even if he is a white guy whom has a birthday close to MLK’s. Did you know that Lincoln asked Gen. Lee to lead the Union Army against the Confederacy and Lee refused on moral grounds? How often does that happen?

Happy Birthday, Robert E. Lee

history, robert e. lee

Today (Jan. 19th) is Robert E. Lee‘s birthday.

Did you know that Pres. Lincoln wanted him to lead the union army in the War Between the States?  Probably not, because saying anything good about the Confederacy is very politically incorrect. The War Between the States was NOT about slavery nor rights for black people, it was all about power and money – just like most wars.  It was not a civil war, which is a war between groups within a country for control of the territory. Rather it was a war for independence of the southern states. Some folks get really politically incorrect and call it the Second War for American Independence.
