No one ever questions the “Rightgeousness” of the Civil War. Was it right?

Are you kidding?

Every Civil War thread ever posted on FR degenerates into a food fight about what was politically "right" or "wrong" about each side within the first 20 posts.

If there is ever a Civil War thread on FR that sticks only to the military history of the men who bravely fought on both sides, we will have pigs flying past our windows.

While it was morally and constitutionally wrong for the insurrection to have occurred in the first place, its failure was a good thing and the efforts to put it down were righteous indeed.
