The South did not invade the North. It left. The supposed moral superiority of the North is a fiction. As is the demonization of the South. We are all better off that slavery was abolished but mythmaking by the victor is no substitute for truth.

I didn't say that it did. However, since you bring it up they most certainly did. Remember Gettysburg?

The supposed moral superiority of the North is a fiction. As is the demonization(sic) of the South.

Again, you're introducing things that no one is suggesting. Curious tactic that.

We are all better off that slavery was abolished but mythmaking by the victor is no substitute for truth.

And you've mentioned "mythmaking" several times, all without enumerating a single instance. Saying "The winners write the history" is another way of saying you can't handle the truth.
