Becauase Grant was a drunk yankee mongrel general and a worse president.....Lee and Jackson were great soldiers of a new nation fighting for its freedom against northern hegemony....and I have a proud background of ancestors who wore the grey uniform of the Confederacy. I've lived in all sections of the US, and the South is the only section left that ...[text shortened]... the British out of the US...aren't you glad you Drink Mountain Dew at 1600 instead of tea? 😉
