If Virginia stands by the old Union,
so will I. But if she secedes…, then
I will still follow my native State with
my sword and, if need be, with my
life.
Abraham Lincoln asked Robert E. Lee to
lead the Union (Northern) army. But,
because of sectionalism, he stayed loyal
to Virginia that joined the South. Instead
it became the leader of the Confederate
army.
