The victorious northern army raped, ravaged, and pillaged their way throughout the southlands.
I fail to understand northern attitudes of moral superiority, since it was mostly the yankees who thought it perfectly fine to commit genocide on red-men, since they were not truly human.
Before, during, and after the civil war, yankees continued to deny the humanity of native american indians.
It was not convenient to the cause of federalism, to recognise indigenous populations.It is not becoming now to rewrite history.
Slavery was not "invented" by the southern states of the USA.Even today, the northern states accept the slavery of illegal immigrants, because it is convenient, and financially advantagious for them to do so.
If and when the southern states try to seriously stop the importation of slave labor of illegal aliens,the northern states will again protest the loss of cheap labor,and refuse to pay the actual costs of food and supplies to their cities, once again.
Another civil war is brewing.The damn yankees will again be the instigators of it.

Whoa! This is an astute observation. Thank you for something more to ponder.
Good point and it would be interesting to know how many Americans who so piously denounce the old slavery in America make money off of forced labor camps in China. Out of sight out of mind as they say - and look at those profits!
(and not that I think all labor in China is forced but there are plenty of government run prison factories and not all of those prisoners are murders and thieves)
