Calling one’s ancestors traitors probably is not going to sway folks.

It depends. The foolish gang of secessionists themselves deserve the title. Not so much for the humble farm boys who were presented with a difficult by stupid action of the politicians. My problem with the NAACP in these issues is that they too often fail to make the distinction. The Confederacy exploited and misused most working Southerners of both racers.

Well said. I never got why people fetishize treason. The whole point is that our political process can handle these issues. Though if someone pines for running a cotton plantation in a place with slavery and a weak central government, they could always move to Nigeria...

I see you are a Lincoln hagiophile. I myself don’t hold Ol’ Abe in quite such high esteem.
