No, the south lost the Civil War, the War between the States, the War of the Southern Rebellion, or Jeff Davis' War. There was no War of Northern Agression.

To my knowledge, the Northern armies are the ones that initially invaded the South. If you and I are neighbors and you say I'm ugly but I come across the property line and start beating you up -- who do you think will be viewed as the aggressor?

If you shoot up my dog house to begin the whole thing then don't complain if I come after you, regardless of whether you are on your property or mine.

The south initiated hostilities by firing on Sumter. They started the war so they had nothing to complain about when the war came home to them.

>>Perdue should change the flag to the pre-56 design and then tell everyone to shut up about it.

I second the motion!
