About James Longstreet
James "Pete" Longstreet (8 January 1821 – 2 January 1904) was an officer in the Confederate army during the American Civil War. Though he was a Confederate in the war, after the war, he joined the Republican Party and supported rights and freedoms for former slaves, a move that made him unpopular with many former Confederates.

Additional quotes by James Longstreet
The highest of human laws is the law that is established by appeal to arms. The sword has decided in favor of the North, and what they claimed as principles cease to be principles, and are become law. The views that we hold cease to be principles because they are opposed to law. It is our duty to abandon ideas that are obsolete and conform to the requirements of law.

The surrender of the Confederate armies in 1865 involved: 1. The surrender of the claim to the right of secession. 2. The surrender of the former political relations of the negro. 3. The surrender of the Southern Confederacy. These issues expired on the fields last occupied by the Confederate armies. There they should have been buried. The soldier prefers to have the sod that receives him when he falls cover his remains. The political questions of the war should have been buried upon the fields that marked their end.
