[ applause ] so, good evening, ladies and gentlemen. Well m coto the kansas city public library. Robert merry, this is his second presentation in the somewhat hallowed halls of the library, five star library this week from library journal. Thank you. He has a masters degree from Columbia University school of journalism. Hes been a reporter from the observe, the walt walt journal, managing editor and editor in chief of Congressional Quarterly and more recently the american conservative. He says its collab la tif but it sounds like robert merry. We believe in constitutional government, fiscal prudence, sound monetary patrol si, delineated borders, authentically free markets, and restraint in Foreign Policy mixed with diplomatic acuity. We adhere to ideas over eidology, principles over party. One could wish there were more of that kind of true conservatism wandering around the beltway than some who profess to be conservatives. Hes also the author of books on those ultimate journalistic in
Going to be a beautification out here, which i guess never hit me, but i guess it might in a way. Because i am a big fan of robert e. Lee. What im hoping to do among others, besides give you a time line as to what robert e. Lee did in the postwar years which i think is one of obviously the most often overlooked portion of his life because, i mean, the civil war is always going to be first and foremost. The other main theme of this lecture im going to try to get across to you, if Park Services is big on themes, is that the amount of i wouldnt say that he did a lot of work in theory, but through his own personal example is probably the best way, through his own personal example, robert e. Lee tries to reconcile the nation. And what i think a lot of us as mers tod americans today have forgotten is how far apart this country was in 1865.
