Joseph Culbertson Clayton invokes the names of Confederate General Robert E. Lee and Union General George H. Thomas, both Virginians who met in battle during the American Civil War. In spite of their differences, Clayton suggests that, with over fifty years passing since the end of the Civil war, both men would today both speak in favor of national unity and keeping the nation strong.
