What part of that is not true? If you think they did not freely enter the Union, you should study up on the formation of the country.

Rapists? Yes, Virginia, there were rapists. What, do you mean you haven't read that in the history books? Could it be the books are written by the victors? To deny this happened is revisionist itself ("Hello Kettle, this is frgoff, you're black!")

Not fighting for slavery? Yes, it's true. Many only fought when their houses, Churches (Can it be true? No, it has to be propaganda!) and farms were torched and destroyed.

Does not liking the fact that women were raped and towns were destroyed mean you are "vindicating" the entire war? Were there no honor whatsoever among 2,000,000 Confederate soldiers? NONE of them deserve to be honored? And if we do, we're PRAVDA? You are right. I'M the narrow minded one. Silly me!
