Ok, I can agree on that being his personal conclusion.
Was Lee always right? Some agree, some don’t. Was Lee infallible? Obviously not.
Sure, he was one hundred percent right. The primary check of the old constitution was swept away by the war and now the balance is skewed with the federal government having all the power. The only power the states have is what the federal government allows them to have. And certainly we have been far more aggressive abroad than we used to be. And does anyone really even want to argue that we don’t have a level of despotism today in this country that would have had our forefathers taking up arms 50 years ago?
