If we are going to build a better world for our children we can NOT be mired in fighting battles long ago lost... You sountherners have a lot more in common with Northern conservatives (however you may disagree about the War) than with Southern liberals don't you? Bill Clinton, case in point... Conservatives should be thinking about how we can improve things now, and in the future... not worrying so much about that awful war--which really was a very long time ago.
Must be because God didn't intervene. If he had, he surely wouldn't have intervened on the side of the blasphemous Lincoln who blamed the war on him.
