OK, how about a little reality here. YOU haven't done anything, any more than I have lost any wars -- Civil, Northern Aggression, Between the states or otherwise. And if you WERE somehow involved, I wouldn't consider it such a great thing to have taken four years to beat an enemy I out numbered 4 to 1.
You know, I take great pride in my Southern heritage and do so without bashing "Yankees." Believing that states had the right to secede does NOT dictate hatred of people from the North.
