On Robert E. Lee
Booker T. Washington, America’s great African-American Educator, wrote in 1910:
"The first white people in America, certainly the first in the South to exhibit their interest in the reaching of the Negro and saving his soul through the medium of the Sunday-school were Robert E. Lee and 'Stonewall Jackson.' ... Where Robert E. Lee and 'Stonewall’ Jackson have led in the redemption of the Negro through the Sunday-school, the rest of us can afford to follow.”

From the tablet on Emmitsburg Road at Gettysburg:
Army of Northern Virginia
Hill’s Corps Anderson’s Division
Perry’s Brigade
2nd 5th 8th Florida Infantry
July 2. Formed line in forenoon in the western border of these woods. Advanced at 6 P. M. and assisted in driving back the Union lines on Emmitsburg Road and by rapid pursuit compelled the temporary abandonment of several guns. At the foot of the slope met Union infantry and the line on the right retiring also fell back. The color bearer of the 8th Florida fell and its flag was lost.
This still rings true today, The Power of an all encompassing Federal authority is choking citizens to death economically and politically and in many other ways the ruling class of Yankees sees fit.
