Conflicted? Hah! I could not be more certain about anything else. The difference between Jefferson and Confederate leaders is absolutely clear. Jefferson clearly denounced slavery and sought its end. He knew long before the Civil War, that regardless of black dependence, slavery denied the inalienable rights of other humans and therefore was contrary to human nature. It was a sin against nature. On the other hand, the Confederacy claimed slavery was morally right by God, and founded an entire dang government on the belief. The philosophies are diametrically opposed, and no American can accept the Confederate view. Really now, the Confederate view is hostile to the very philosophy upon which America is based. It struck at the core of our existence, and by common ethics can no more be honoured than the Third Reich. Thomas Jefferson does indeed deserve America's highest honour. It was he who struck the first and most fatal philosophical blow against slavery and for the rights of man. He can be forgiven his practical frailties. The Confederacy can never be forgiven because at its core was a damnable doctrine. It was hostile to human nature. (Going hunting a bit. Hope I don't get caught in a blizzard)
