Were confederate soldiers terrorists?

Based on the hundreds of e-mails, Facebook comments and Tweets I've read in response to my denunciation of Virginia Gov. Bob McDonnell's decision to honor Confederates for their involvement in the Civil War -- which was based on the desire to continue slavery -- the one consistent thing that supporters of the proclamation offer up as a defense is that these individuals were fighting for what they believed in and defending their homeland.

In criticizing me for saying that celebrating the Confederates was akin to honoring Nazi soldiers for killing of Jews during the Holocaust, Rob Wagner said, "I am simply defending the honor and dignity of men who were given no choice other than to fight, some as young as thirteen."

West Virginia's secession from Virginia was rife with fraud, as Lincoln did not want a Confederate state north of DC (which was understandable).

I doubt whether West Virginia's secession from Virginia had nearly the fraud that the secession of Georgia and Tennessee from the Union had.

I’ve never seen a CW thread where he wasn’t calling Southerners “terrorists/traitors/treasonous” and worse.

Then of course you can provide some links to where I made those comments?

I can, give me little while to get them all together because they go back several years. Gonna be a long post with a lot of links.
