Won the battle but lost the war (so to speak), did they, to the great peril to us all.

How so?

You tell me, NS. With the Feds ever encroaching on the rights of individuals today, who is winning the battle now? You happy with the way it all turned out? Or, better put, turned around to bite us in the arse?

Are you going to argue still, to the point of nausea, that the Civil War was centred on slavery? Yes, you will.

(Cheat Sheet Answer: NO, IT WAS NOT. Read real history now and again; it’s good for the soul.)
