Where did you learn Confederate history? The Southern Poverty Law Center? The NAACP?

5 years of dying is lukewarm support?

I believe that lukewarm support was given to slavery. Not all who fought had slaves or believed slavery was right.

The support for the War of Northern Aggression was the support for States Rights. Those rights were lost.

That is quite funny! I had similar thoughts too, for it was all news to me. Seems like everytime one turns around, somebody comes up with a new and improved reason to hate...
