I think the South would have continued it, but probably not for as long as you think. Would the South have been magnanimous if it had won? Who knows? The South wasn't trying to conquer and colonize the North in this affair. It was trying to set up shop on its own.

I'm familiar with your General Kearny. When he was killed, that despicable Confederate general you detest so much sent his body back across the lines with a personal note of condolence.

If the South wasn’t trying to conquer the North why was Lee in Pennsylvania? As to General Kearny I would recommend author and Kearny biographer William ‘’Bill’’ Styple. Another of my towns notables. He has written extensively on Phil Kearny.

In the spirit of academic debate and as a man my apologies for my early churlishness and profanity. My Irish temper does get the better of me sometimes. You don’t seem quite the bad sort after all.
