It's not "something like that", astonishingly you summarized the entire problem of that unhinged tiny minority of malcontented Civil War revisionists, who long ago locked themselves into a self-inflicted, perpetual 'lost cause' time warp.
If there are certain posted facts you feel you can shed some light on, or wish to counter - go ahead pilgrim. Otherwise continue kvetching & whistling Dixie.
And you aren't? You seem to have an endless supply of cut and paste research. Aren't you a little time warped yourself?
The "malcontents" you refer to happen to believe in limited central govenment and states rights. They also happen to get a little upset at having their ancestors called traitors and slave beaters in the unprovoked manner in which it is done on these threads. Slavery was wrong of course but that doesn't erase the fact that slaves were very close to their masters and vice versa.
