Confederate History and Heritage Month
Tennessee Senator Edward Ward Carmack said it best in 1903:
“The Confederate Soldiers were our kinfolk and our heroes. We testify to the country our enduring fidelity to their memory. We commemorate their valor and devotion. There were some things that were not surrendered at Appomattox. We did not surrender our rights and history; nor was it one of the conditions of surrender that unfriendly lips should be suffered to tell the story of that war or that unfriendly hands should write the epitaphs of the Confederate dead. We have the right to teach our children the true history of the war, the causes that led up to it and the principles involved.”
Southerners continue to remember the men and women of the Old Confederacy throughout the year but Confederate Memorial Day is even more special to us when old times are not forgotten.

You are correct that WWII was devastating to German civilians but, in order to compare the two situations, you would have to believe that declaring war on foreigners abroad is the same as declaring war on your own countrymen. The motives for going to war with Germany were totally different than the motives for invading the South. The Confederate cause did not include attacking, invading the North or antagonizing the North in other ways. By the way, you may not see me weeping for the German civilians but you don’t see me not weeping either.
If that were the case, there wouldn't have been a war. Confederate forces were doing what they could to "antagonize the North" -- seizing and destroying property, inciting rebellion, etc.
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought that the entire point of the confederacy was their claim that they were no longer part of the United States and were, in fact, now a foreign country. You can't declare yourself a different country, then complain that you're treated like one.

Yeah, shelling Fort Sumter wasn't the least bit antagonizing to the United States.

Mega-trolling.
Reagan was a much better actor than he’s given credit for.
Remember “King’s Row”?
I do. It’s been a long time since I watched that one, but he was excellent.
What states rights had the Buchanan administration violated t so badly that secession was the only answer.
Your list consists of facilities located on realestate inside Southern boundaries. After secession, it was the view of the Southern government that the federal government no longer held interests there. It was not the desire of the South to inflict their will on the North and they had no desire to take anything possessed by the Union located north of the Mason-Dixon Line. They simply wanted to leave the Union.
They simply wanted to leave the Union.
Another lost cause myth.
Based on your replies, am I to assume that you will not read “War Crimes Against Southern Civilians” by Walter Brian Cisco? I believe you will find it a well documented, fascinating account of history that you probably won’t find without digging through old documents, newspaper articles and researching eyewitness accounts yourself.
I haven’t read it but I probably will...eventually. I have several other titles to get through first.

Brown's last minutes
How many of those were in the North?
I believe the Crown regarded Boston Harbor as belonging to the Union in 1775 if that helps your case.
So what?
“So what?”
Some members of the church of Lincoln like to argue that the North was in imminent peril of invasion in 1861 but that roster of federal installations appears to solely ones in the South. The Union had as strong a claim on them as the Crown did for everything in the Colonies in 1775.
You say that as though it means something.
LMAO!
That is epic.
Sometimes, raving lunatics are nice enough to give us visual clues.
