[B]An Open Letter to Jefferson Davis and All Whom it May Concern,[/B]

I have awoken in a cold sweat. I fear we are losing sight of what our cause is. The cause I joined in is the for the Soul of the South and for the Southern Way of Life, Mr. Davis. But I am afraid we are failing to live up to this. I will defend my State of Virginia, but I must also stand up to defend the causes of Liberty and Freedom and against Tyranny and Corruption. Mr. Davis, I am afraid the more we drag the world into our own fight the more our struggle gets Corrupted. The more we ask for foreign intervention, the closer we slip into Tyranny. I signed up to fight against such things. [b]I, Robert Edward Lee, am not at ease seeing what happens in the world, and ask Mr. Davis to take caution.[/b]
Mr. Davis, we said we wanted peace, did we not? But those that have come to our aide now threaten a violent war against the United States of America, where the ideals we now fight for were forged. That is not peaceful. And can they be our allies if they do not seek the same things we do? Peace. We seek sovereignty from the Union, not the destruction of it, don't we? Is it too late for the Union to come around to the ideals we fight for? I don't think it is, for one. We want peace, not more war.
I write this in a very distressed state, Mr. Davis. But take caution. I am worried of our so-called allies as I am worried of an impending Union attack, my friend. You shall be receiving your own copy of this letter, but I shall also be giving this letter to the local news publications I am so worried of our situation.

I apologize for the haste this was written in, but take caution, my friend.

[B]- Robert E. Lee, Army General in the Confederate States of America[/B] [I](on February 28, 1862)[/I]
