War is always bad and it was always going to be fought on Virginia 's doorstep he knew that and that's why he refused high command in the union army offered by Abraham Lincoln himself to defend his home state.

Maybe that was because Lincoln wanted there to be peace between the two sides and any such persecution might have fuelled even more resentment...Perhaps that was something that the allies should have considered after 1918 in Europe when they decided to really scapegoat Germany. We might have avoided WW2 if they had.
