No, I meant that more in the aspect of (in a more diplomatic way) the North is still refusing it's wrongs today. So I must argue from the point of the "wronged"

What wrong is that?

Lincoln in his 2nd Inaugural stated that the nation as whole was paying for its sins.

The ones who were wronged were the 3million plus slaves.

"The ones who were wronged were the 3million plus slaves."

And the additional slaves in the North that weren't immediately freed. And the continuation of segregation on both parts for a few generations following.

Again: The South did as it saw was right, and the North did as it saw was right.

Make no confussion, that is at my heart.

However: the South was not morally inferior to the North. And I have been arguing THAT for 500+ threads now.
