I have come to view the CW much differently than l used to. They had a right to secede. The wickedness of slavery is undeniable but if the southern states wanted to be independent that was their right. The north invaded the south.
Don’t forget that Vicksburg fell on the same day to General Grant. Vicksburg was an important victory for the Union.
Till Sherman settled the matter.
Uh, the South opened fire on Ft. Sumter. They opened the ball, so to speak.

It’s applicable to today i think
Ignore the south bashers
Neocon national review folks saying same thing here for 20 years
Most but not all hate Trump too and don’t see culture as an issue
Demonizing Dixie is their tool to deflect charges of racism against their beloved GOPe
Like mark levin before he realized he was losing his audience in 2015/16
They ape his and Goldberg views on the South
“It’s always those racist white southerners making us look bad”
They wish the Dixiecrats had not gone solid south GOPe after Goldwater and Nixon and ultimately Reagan
Kind of hard to get that genie back in the bottle now especially with this monumental migration of unhappy Yankees flooding the south now
Not this bunch here obviously
Ignore them most are crazy
