It is strange that people still look at what the North did in 1860’s as honorable. It was disgracefull and cowardly and should be considered the low point in the republic. Anyone defending the the North is a fool and a wanton boot licker that salivates over a strong central authority. Takes all kinds I guess.
instead they HOPE that they can convince others of their hate-FILLED,SELF-righteous, sanctimonious, KNOWING lies.
it's really no more complicated than that.
otoh, some of them are so blinded by their inbred prejudice, that they have convinced themselves = this is called SELF-delusion & it is rightly considered to be a psychosis.

Eventually if the south had won, a strong central government would have taken root in the confederacy, or it would have further splintered itself into a bunch of weak nation states similar to the balkins.
And as I see it eventually the racism that would have continued in the guise of slavery would have at some point turned into the bloodiest rebellion of all time or a holocaust rivalling the state sponsored massacres of the soviets.
Neo confederates love to tell us that eventually slavery would have ceased in the south, and I believe they actually believe that is possible.
I also believe that it is a bit of wishful thinking on their part to believe that some greater form of oppression on injustice would not have replaced slavery than what happened in this country after the civil war.
Take for instance what might have happened in the confederacy if Communism had found it’s way into the hearts of slaves and former slaves throughout the south. Without a strong central government to prevent such an uprising a balkanised confederacy would find itself quickly overwhelmed by a bloody rebellion and literally begging for US support to prevent an overthrow from within.
Where as a strong central government style confederacy would find itself literally exterminating a large section of it’s workforce in an effort to remain in power, or seceding some of their power to a communist block.
There are worse possible outcomes that the south avoided by remaining part of the United States, but only neo confederates are naive enough to believe that they would not have occured if the south had won.
I suppose that some may believe that the fact that human beings are not able to own other human beings any longer in America is disgraceful, but that would be a minority view.
