There is a long tradition of all Americans honoring both North and South. That is a good tradition and should be continued. It doesn’t make the South right. It just means that all were Americans before, and after. (Of course I just set off a firestorm among the confederates here at FR who will lecture us on how the south WAS right...which only illustrates the point that we need to honor both sides...not just the South, or not just the North).

Not "was", is right. ;)

I think you have it backwards - it is the “North was right” crowd that is always trying to stop any attempt to honor Confederate heritage that is the problem.

Not at all. I believe some of the reasons the South chose to fight were correct. But slavery wasn’t a valid reason.
