In other words: he won.

What exactly did he win?

The right to bow to and become forever enslaved to an all powerful, central government that would become destined to invade ever single aspect of every single life?

Nope. Just like the Confederate soldiers and citizens, he and his comrades LOST, for him and all of the descendent's on both sides, the Republican form of government given to us by the Founders to be replaced by an authoritative oligarchy that was only made possible by fighting for Lincoln's cause.

Thanks yank.

What exactly did he win?

Something you and your whinging can never take away from him: he won the right to call himself a preserver of the Union.

Thanks to him, I live in the greatest country the world has ever known.

Thanks yank.

You're welcome, Mr. Jeremiah Wright-lite.
