You know, we flattened Japan and Germany to a level never dreamed of in the south and less than 60 years later you almost never hear anyone in either country dwelling on that.

Just war, versus factional war for dominance. Our war against the Japanese and the Germans did justice. Lincoln's substituted one injustice for another, and then piled on a few more for good measure.

Just war, versus factional war for dominance.

Now that would depend on which end of the stick you were holding, wouldn't it? I'm sure that the Germans and the Japanese believed their cause to be just and their war to be necessary. And in the end they wound up with their cities flattened, the allies imposing governments and constitutions on them, forcing them to toss out customs and beliefs held for centuries. And you don't hear them complaining. But southroners? You people cry like 4 year old infants deprived of their bottle over nothing by comparison.
