The Confederacy talked about "state's rights" and "Constitutional Rights", but in actuality the Confederacy was a Police State. Many Southerners who were loyal to America, or even just neutral, were burned out of the homes and in some cases, hanged.

Robert E. Lee is like Erwin Rommel- both admirable Generals and leaders who fought for abominable causes.

but in actuality the Confederacy was a Police State.

And the Union wasn't 1861-1865? You really need to read some historical text about Lincoln's suspension of constitutional rights during that time period.

Kinda like what the American rebels did to the tories.
