Different wars. Different facts. Bottom line: I am glad the Colonists won. I am sorry that the South lost, and most (though, apparently, not you) give them credit for giving it a noble effort with no lack of commitment or courage on their part.

Oh please. More like common sense and no desire to prolong the fighting.

Oh I've got a bigger one for you. The persistent claim that the South did not rebel over slavery.
