I was at Gettysburg for the 125th anniversary of the battle. All I can say is, Confederates must have been crazy to march in formation across that huge open field. Cannon and rifle fire cut them to pieces. Civil War had to be the most brutal war ever.

They just used his name for recruiting. In reality he wasn't really associated with it. In fact, the only time he did associate himself with it, he shut it down due to the radical elements within.

He actually advocated for rights for blacks after the war.

The entire narrative with him is complete BS.
