Another strawman. No one here, not a single soul, considers Lincoln their god.

I wasn't suggesting that Lincoln was your god, I was asserting that your "god" is the belief that the Union side was moral and right and that it prosecuted a vicious and bloody war for a good cause.

It didn't. It prosecuted a horrible war for a very bad cause; Power and Control; The subjugation of people who no longer wished to bow to the economic desires of the wealthy and powerful in the North East; That same group of people who are still trying to tell the rest of us how to live.

Your side unleashed Fedzilla on the Nation, and killed 750,000 people doing it.

DiogenesLamp: "I wasn't suggesting that Lincoln was your god, I was asserting that your "god" is the belief that the Union side was moral and right and that it prosecuted a vicious and bloody war for a good cause."

The Union cause was: first Union, then abolition.
The Union cause was supported at the time by the vast majority of Northerners (Republicans and Democrats) and Southern Border States (i.e., Maryland, Kentucky, Missouri).
It was also supported by very large minorities of whites in the Upper South (Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Arkansas), and when you consider slaves themselves, by huge majorities there.
Even in the Deep South slaves made Unionists almost the majority.

So the huge loss of life was caused by minority Confederates refusal to stop fighting on any terms more favorable than "unconditional surrender".
