Then your enemy is Reagan and Trup, who love Lincoln and would have stood with the Union. Woodrow Wilson, on the other hand was a neo-confederate.

Well, Lincoln was a communist and Reagan invented the "Southern Strategy". Wilson grew up during the war, he wasn't "neo-" anything.

Laughable horsecrap. Wilson was the governor of NEW JERSEY and was president of Princeton. He wanted centralized power, not decentralized power. He stood for the very opposite of what the Confederates stood for.

The South should have been allowed to leave the Union the same way the colonies left the British empire. You should look at how Robert E. Lee and Stonewall Jackson viewed the decision to secede before throwing out your silly comments. You probably do not know that Robert E. Lee was serving in the U.S. Army when the war broke out and was arrested by the state of Texas.

Both Jackson and Lee were not fond of the decision to secede but felt an allegiance more to the state of Virginia than to the federal government. Add the atrocities committed by Northern forces, for example the intentional targeting of civilians at Fredericksburg, Sherman's March, and even the way Northern troops made sure to bury the dead as close to Lee's wife's home at Arlington to terrorize her and the North can go eff itself.

For what it's worth, I grew up in New England so I'm not some hick southerner clinging on to the confederate flag.
