A matter of judgment

I TOO AM SHOCKED AND APPALLED AT THIS COMMENT. I AM A ROMAN CATHOLIC AND I LIVE JUST 50 MILES NORTHEAST OF DOWNTOWN NEW ORLEANS IN A SMALL TOWN NAMED BAY SAINT LOUIS, MISS.
MANY CATHOLICS DID FIGHT IN THIS WAR OF NORTHERN AGGRESSION. WE IN THE SOUTH ONLY WANTED TO BE LEFT ALONE TO BE TAXED FAIRLY AND TO SEE SOME ACTION FROM THE GOVERNMENT WITH OUR TAX MONEY. THAT IS THE ONLY REASON WHY THIS WAR BEGAN IN THE FIRST PLACE.
YES, GENERAL ROBERT EDWARD LEE DID LEAD MANY GALLANT BATTLES AGAINST AGGRESORS ONLY.
LET’S NOT FORGET SIR THAT GEN. LEE WAS LINCOLN’S FIRST CHOISE TO BE THE COMMANDER OF THE NORTHERN FORCES. WE IN THE SOUTH WERE JUST LUCKY ENOUGH THAT GEN. LEE LIVED IN VIRGINIA AND WAS FAITHFUL TO HIS OWN STATES CALLING. ANY MAN OR WOMAN AT THAT TIME FELT THE SAME WAY. IF YOU DID NOT, AND YOU WERE FOUND OUT BY EITHER NORTHERNERS OR SOUTHERNERS YOU WOULDD HAVE SURLY HAVE BEEN A TRAITOR TO YOUR COUNTRY.
MY GG GRANDFATHER "LT. JOHN HENRY FRAZIER" FOUGHT AS A CAVELRY LT. IN THE CONFEDERATE ARMY UNDER THE COMMAND OF GENERAL STERLING PRICE OF THE TRANS MISSISSIPPI. IN THE STATE OF MISSOURI HE FOUGHT THE BATTLE OF SPRINGFIELD, HIGGINSVILLE, INDEPENDENCE, MO. AND ON IN THE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI CORNITH, IUKA, AND THE BATTLE OF THE GREAT GRAND GULF. HE WAS WOUNDED TWICE. IN THE LEFT WRIST AND LEFT ANKLE BY MINI BALLS. MINI BALLS WERE ANY THING BUT MINI. THEY WERER GENERALY 50 TO 60 CALABUR HUNKS OF ROUND LEAD THAT WERE FIRED FROM A GUNPOWDER FED RIFLE.
YES I AM A CONFEDERATE ROMAN CATHOLIC AND I AM PROUD OF BOTH MY FAITH AND MY REAGION OF THE COUNTRY OF WHICH I LIVE THE CONFEDERATE STATE OF MISSISSIPPI. (DEO VINDICE)
