Lee's death, amidst many ceremonies and speeches in his honor, a new problem arises. This problem threatens to tarnish the legacy of General Lee, and its name is perjury. The accusation of perjury by the government and the North comes as a not only a shock to the south, but a showing of disrespect toward General Lee. The idea of perjury, however, is one that many white southerners refuse to accept. The accusation of perjury is counter by the mere question, "how can one man in the south be accused of perjury, when countess citizens of the north have opposed the constitution and vouched for it to be changed, but are not considered perjurers?" While within the United State, the fight for the General's honor may be limited to those in the south, they do have support from those oversees. All the way from London, support comes to the south in the form of defending General Lee's honor. Text A resource consisting primarily of words for reading.

Transcription Any written text transcribed from a sound Surprise was expressed in our issue of yesterday that a colored Conservative enjoying the confidence of this community like Abram Hall should have attended the Radical Nominating Convention at the county court-house, on Saturday. We have since been informed that Hall went there from most praiseworthy motives, and during the meeting avowed his Conservative sentiments, even at the risk of his life. He branded the statement of one of the speakers that the whites wished again to enslave the blacks as a lie, and denounced without mercy the craven fellow who abused General Lee. For these offences against Radicalism Hall was greeted with cries of "Put him out!" ''Kill him!" etc., when he took the stand, in response to the calls of his friends. And he actually was put out of the house. Backed by white and colored Conservatives, however, he returned to the charge, and did not leave the room again until the Scalawags adjourned.
