John Kelly Says ‘Lack Of An Ability To Compromise Led To The Civil War’
White House Chief of Staff John Kelly on Monday said that the Civil War stemmed from a “lack of an ability to compromise,” ignoring that the two sides fought over whether slavery should be legal.
Kelly made the comments in an interview with Fox News’ Laura Ingraham, also telling the new Fox host that Confederate General Robert E. Lee was an “honorable man.”
Ingraham asked Kelly about a church in Virginia that decided to remove plaques honoring George Washington and Robert E. Lee since the plaques “create a distraction in our worship space and may create an obstacle to our identity as a welcoming church and an impediment to our growth and to full community with our neighbors.”
Kelly said that Americans should not “take what is today accepted as right and wrong” and apply it to history.
“It shows you how much of a lack of appreciation of history and what history is. I would tell you that Robert E. Lee was an honorable man. He was a man that gave up his country to fight for his state, which in 150 years ago was more important than country. It was always loyalty to state first, back in those days, and now it’s different today,” Kelly told Ingraham.
“But the lack of an ability to compromise led to the Civil war,” he added. “And men of women of good faith on both sides made their stand, where their conscience had them make their stand.”

I don't think faith has much to do with it. It's yet another white man echoing the sentiments of the majority. -

If, going by historical facts? No. But that's not what I addressed. The sentiment is, Blacks in America are or at least should still be slaves, second class citizens (if at all) and are inferior to whites. Sorry to bust that bubble but majority of whites either believe, support or remain silent in agreement with these sentiments. If, they didn't things would be as they are. -

u dont say?? -
Everytime one of these white politicos get to talking it's like listening to a grown up in Charlie Brown's world. But instead of a horn it sounds like splashes of diahrrea.

Dont know know many people other than Southerners who still believe in the lost cause and care for southern generals , last time i checked it wasnt just black people rally around the remove of southern statues and are against the reminiscing of the antibellym south.
Lets not generalize to make a point , we know what it is .

This is just a distraction to get off of Mueller investigation.

http://talkingpointsmemo.com/livewire/white-house-media-stop-narrative-racially-chargedWH: Media Should Stop Pushing Narrative That We Are ‘Racially Charged’
The White House blamed the media for pushing a “racially charged and divided White House” narrative on Tuesday, in response to questions about an interview chief of staff John Kelly gave Monday evening in which he said the Civil War stemmed from a “lack of an ability to compromise.”
When NBC’s Hallie Jackson asked press secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders whether the White House acknowledges that Kelly’s “compromise” comments were “deeply offensive to some folks” — because the two sides fought over whether slavery should be legal during the Civil War — Sanders said “no.”
Following the White House’s line — as it relates to the debate over the removal of Confederate monuments — Sanders said just “because you don’t like history doesn’t mean that you can erase it and pretend it didn’t happen.”
“To try to create something and push a narrative that simply doesn’t exist, is just frankly outrageous and absurd. I think the fact that we keep trying to drive, the media continues to want to make this and push that this is some sort of racially charged and divided White House,” she said. “Frankly the only people I see stoking political racism right now are the people in the groups that are running ads like the one you saw taking place in Virginia earlier this week. That’s the type of thing that I think really is a problem.”
Sanders is likely referencing an advertisement put out by a group called Latino Victory this week, to criticize Virginia gubernatorial candidate Ed Gillespie. The video shows minority children running away from a white man driving a pickup truck with a Confederate flag on it.
Kelly also said there were “men and women of good faith on both sides” who made their stand during the Civil War, rhetoric that’s uncannily similar to remarks President Donald Trump made about there being good people on “many sides” of a protest at a white nationalist rally in Charlottesville, Virginia in August.
A woman died when a man affiliated with the white supremacists allegedly drove his car through a crowd of counter protesters. The rally was held in that city to protest the removal of a Robert E. Lee statue.
