> You seem to desire to insult Southerners.
Nope. Only those insulting Southerners who thing that enslaving their fellows was a noble cause to kill for.
Play with words all you want..
It doesn't take much gumption to run down someone you have never met or have no chance of meeting.
If you are looking for that, hunt who you despise up and do it right. Otherwise, have some manners.

....which judging from your posts is every southerner who doesn't reflexively condemn the confederacy.....which is pretty much every southerner.
EVERY good southerner is a patriotic American. You want to argue confederacy = nazi. You're just wrong, and idiotically so....so much so that trying reason with you is futile.
As much as people like you can't stand it, southerners are as good or better Americans than anywhere else in this country. That they do not recoil from a symbol of the confederacy like you would prefer pisses you off. So what. We're Americans - get over it......if you are an American then the confederacy is part of your history, whether you recoil from it or not.
or are you just being a LITTLE TROLL???

Most southerners who faught, did so in defense of his native state, and had no care about slavery, because they were busting their asses just to feed their families. Some folks seem to conveniantly forget that just as many yankees owned slaves in that era. Lincoln decided to make it politically advantageous for himself to make the war about slavery in '63, with the Emancipation Proclamation (which actually did not free anyone). The south AND the north were as guilty as each other in the slavery issue, and I doubt anyone here actually believes it was right for any American to hold slaves. R.E. Lee did not think succession was a good thing, but told his wife that if it came to the federal government against the southern states, then he would fight for his beloved Virginia. Back then, most were loyal to their state before the federal collection of states.
