"Anyone that says anything positive about the Confederacy is going to get attacked."

Nonsense.

There is much to admire in the courage & endurance of the South's soldiers, in the brilliance of some leaders, and of course, anyone supporting smaller, more restricted government is much appreciated by Conservatives.

But lots of folks love to lie about the South's cause -- claim it wasn't all about slavery (yes it was!), or that the North conducted a war of annihilation (not even close!).

If those are your arguments, then expect to be called to task for them.

I appreciate the fact that you do recognize some good things about the Confederacy; however, the argument is always over the cause(s) of the Civil War. The term annihilation may be too strong, but the Union declared war against civilians, raped, pillaged, looted, and burned its way across the South.
