Last words: The CSA did not lose. There was never a formal surrender and President Jefferson Davis was never tried for treason or any other charge.

There were no real winners in the war of Northern Aggression, but slavery increased exponenially when the Union reigned over Reconstruction and ensured the U.S. government functioned as a plantation for the entire nation — as it still does today.

Uh, did you miss April 9, 1865, Appomattox Court House? Lee signed the surrender there. The only reason Davis wasn’t hung was because of the mercy of Lincoln. Guess you missed The Emancipation Proclamation too, huh?
