Mr. Blair, I look upon secession as anarchy. If I owned the four millions of slaves in the South, I would sacrifice them all to the Union; but how can I draw my sword upon Virginia, my native State?
Robert E. LeeYou see what a poor sinner I am, and how unworthy to possess what was given me; for that reason it has been taken away.
Robert E. LeeLet us pray for ourselves, that we may not lose the word โconcernโ out of our Christian vocabulary. Let us pray for our nation. Let us pray for those who have never known Jesus Christ and redeeming love, for moral forces everywhere, for our national leaders. Let prayer be our passion. Let prayer be our practice.
Robert E. Lee
