"Well known facts. Poor southern whites understood that the war was being waged by the rich planters (with many exemptions) and the poor were fighting it. It's a complex issue but glorifying the Confederacy and its supporters both in the North and Sought makes no sense."
I could make the same argument about the Union, It is well-known that a great many northerners may not have supported the South's cause, but most were indifferent. I'm sure many Union soldiers would happily have allowed the South to secede. Just as you say about the South, elitist Northerners insisted on fighting the war, and poor northerners fought it.
Yup...see my post #49
