The only people I've ever criticized is the ones that pushed secession, the slaveowners.

As has been pointed out to you, you do so wrongly. The slaveowners were reluctant secessionists, knowing their property in flesh was secure for eternity within the bounds of the Union. It was those who sought greater political power who roused for secession.

What bull. 70% in that link were slaveowners.
