They fought against the U.S. and not for it. They were not granted U.S. veteran status until the mid-1950s.

Exactly thats the whole point...

its official...

Theyre as much American veterans as I am ...my war was Vietnam and I was on the side of the legitimate government of the United States...

Theyre the “glorious dead” of the South, but they are also American veterans...
