"Abandon your animosities," said Robert E. Lee,
" and make your sons Americans." There is an art of losing,
and
Robert E. Lee is its finest teacher. In a democracy, where opposing viewpoints regularly
meet for a test of ballots, it is good for all of us to know how to lose occasionally, how
to yield peacefully, for the sake of freedom. Lee is our master in this. The man who
fought against the Union showed us what unity means. by Louis Redmond |

| Hastin, J.G #84 |
by Robert E. Lee After four years of arduous service, marked by unsurpassed courage and fortitude, the Army of Northern Virginia has been compelled to yield to overwhelming numbers and resources. I need not tell the survivors of so many hard-fought battles who have remained steadfast to the last that I have consented to this result from no distrust of them; but feeling that valor and devotion could accomplish nothing that could compensate for the loss that would have attended the continuance of the contest, I determined to avoid the useless sacrifice of those whose past services have endeared them to their countrymen. By the terms of the agreement, officers and men can return to their homes and remain until exchanged. You may take with you the satisfaction that proceeds from the consciousness of duty faithfully performed, and I earnestly pray that a merciful God will extend to you his blessing and protection. With an unceasing admiration of your constancy and devotion to your country, and a grateful remembrance of your kind and generous consideration of myself, I bid you all an affectionate farewell. |
