he and jefferson davis share that title. lincoln would have sent 2 million soldiers to their deaths to vindicate those principals of free election, liberty and union. lincoln was not the kindly father abraham looking to get along. lincoln was ruthless when he believed he was fighting for essential and undeniable principals. jfk felt the same way. they were both cool. they had analytical minds. they weren't hot heads. both had few real friends. they were private and distant. very much like ronald reagan. jfk and lincoln were very private people. and detached. many people thought they knew them. very few did. yes, they loved to laugh. they love a crowd. they enjoyed being with people. but they could be alone in a crowd. both had confidence in themselves. both grew in confidence during their presidencies. abraham lincoln thought that destiny had called him. not so much because destiny thought he was a great man but he was a man called for this specific task and purpose. jfk felt he was destined to survive his wounds in world wa

lee also understood they were the personification of the confederacy, more so than jefferson davis. as the army of northern virginia would go, so with the confederacy. the analogy had been drawn, contemporarily as it has today, between lee and the army of the confederacy between washington and the continental army to the colonies during our war for independence. that is apt. it's because lee is related to george washington. both men, by virtue of being exemplars of their respective sides, bring that with them. they bring the outside forces into the room beyond themselves. christopher: both men, by virtue of being exemplars of their respective sides, bring that with them. they bring the outside forces into the room beyond themselves. they bring in what they represent. to understand appomattox and how it reverberates going forward. i want to talk and introduce an underappreciated quote, one that i think sums up the causes of the war better than any other. it is in 1956. he said, "the origins of the civil war lay in the growing tension between two completely different types of society

you can add to this the words of the president of the confederate states, jefferson davis, who also believed in the appropriateness of slavery. and he argued it was condoned in the bible. and says, "african slavery has existed in the united states has existed as it a moral, political, and social blessing." so for him, slavery is a key part of what they are trying to protect. by leaving the nation. what these words offer i think is a very strong case for slavery being a critical issue which motivated and caused southern states to decide to secede from the union. so it is not surprising that this is the case, because slavery is in fact the economic foundation and engine of success for the south. the slaves provided free labor to harvest crops, plant crops, make sure they got to market. slavery rapidly reduces labor costs associated with agricultural production in the south. and also, the south was prospering because the production of cotton by them was the highest level of production of cotton anyplace in the world. i like to tell people that to understand the importance of the power of cotton
