Been allowed to? Sheesh. The South wasn't fighting the war to take over the governemnt and then control the North somehow. If the North had lost of course they would still remember their dead, just like I'm sure Britain remembers its dead from the War for American Independence. What is your point?
Just what I asked. And in 1863 had the South won Gettysburg there is no way in Hell Lee would not have moved on Washington . He would have had to or the North would have rebounded and destroyed him and his army, ending any idea of a peaceful, live and let live, slave-owning Southern Utopia. Victory in war changes plans. So if the South had won, would I be permitted to say, live in Georgia and been permitted remember my Yankee ancestors?
