There are constant wars here between folks (like me) who venerate Confederate heroes and fight against having Southern history revised into "CSA = evil," and those who have, ah, a little more Unionist view of things, shall we say. Some of those wars are good-natured discussions, some of them are big-time flames.
We run the gamut here, from some folks who would probably grab a rifle and secede tomorrow if they could, to the "all Confederates were traitors and should have been hanged" crowd on the other side. Most of us are somewhere in the middle. Me, I'm very pro-Southern, and flirted with membership in the League of the South a while back, but in the end I don't think it's viable any more.
Basically, just sit back, grab some popcorn, and watch the fun. :)
Stainless, good Marse Robert article ping for you.

Ahh, is that the way it is? I'm a Southern sympathizer, of course, but bear no grudges against the North, and can admire Grant and Lincoln. Sherman, though, now there was a serious POS, C*&%sucker.
