It’s an eternal shame that such valiant men had to die in such a morally-bankrupt lost cause.

The cause for which they fought and died was the right of self determination. That is not a bankrupt cause.

I've read the secession documents, all of them. The cause they fought for was to preserve the infernal institution that allowed them to enslave their fellow man.
