King David was an adulterer too, and one whom God considered to be "a man after God's own heart" (Acts 13:22). King David, as an adulterer and as a slave holder, did evil.
God may have praised David, but not because he was either an adulterer or a slave holder.
Isaiah writes: “The Spirit of the Lord God is upon Me, because the Lord hath anointed Me to preach good tidings unto the meek. He hath sent me to bind up the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives, and the opening of the prison to them that are bound, (Isaiah 61:1)
Jesus Christ is about setting the captive free, not celebrating their slavery.
The Confederacy and its leaders were evil, since what they did split the nation and resulted in 600,000 un-necessary dead and wounded Americans.
No other way to slice it: that was evil.
Not all who served in the Confederate military nor those who lived in the Confederacy were personally evil, though some certainly were. Since the 1950's Confederate military have been considered veterans officially in current US law.
England outlawed slavery in the 1830's. England's monied interests continued to profit from slavery by merely off-shoring the practice, as it continued to profit from it in North America.
That was evil.
The Confederacy was a proxy of European monied interests to divide and re-conquer this Nation, make the US indebted to European bankers, and to re-colonize us.
That was evil.
FReegards!
