We can argue whether that duty was misguided, but that is what these men believed in. I cannot find fault in those men in the Confederate Army that tore cartridge and drew ram rods for 13 dollars a month and rations. The men that put them in that situation are the men that we should despise.”
The men who put them in that position would be the crony-capitalist sectionalists promoting the Hamiltonian mercantilist agenda, such as Clay, and then Lincoln. Remember, it was Lincoln who instigated the war, and then invaded the South after instigation. The South simply wanted to be left alone.

Don’t forget the greedy slaveocracy that ruled from Richmond. It take two to have a war.
