Let us say the Confederate side had gained victory and they were in a position to dictate national policy. Do expect everyone to buy a Confederate regimé would have informed the elected leaders of the Union the following:

'All is forgiven boys, of course you can continue voting as if nothing happen over the last 4 years, plus, we really want all the pro-abolistionist congressmen and senators, especially those from New England to remain in office and naturally when your terms are finished, if you so elect, run for office again.'

More historic spins: .."each state was required to allow blacks the right of suffrage (the vote). That meant blacks could vote in the South.." Do you recall something termed 'Jim Crow?'

The only ones who should have been forced to the back of the bus should have been identified 'Confederate segregationists'.

The Southern-Confederate ringleaders of instigating civil war, resulting in over half a million dead Americans should have had their right to vote revoked for no less then 25 years, in conjunction with being permanently bared from holding public office. Once again benevolence to traitors was a massive mistake.

Are you in agreement with the return to segregation in the Deep South if that condition was the only method of a modern 'Confederate separation' from the United States?

Amen!

Dear clueless: If the Confederacy had won they certainly would NOT have attempted to dictate to the Union anything - the Confederate States of America seceded. Doh!

Nope, I wasn't alive then.

Absent their constitutionally guaranteed right to trial, to have witnesses &c, I take it that you are once again advocating the extermination of Confederates.

Of course NOT. No one here is clamoring for segregation, but it does appear that you habitually project your fixations on others.

War would have been averted if Lincoln had not invaded, but he had to attack to claim the impost revenues, as he stated in his inaugural speech.
