It was no more a civil war than was the American revolution. Actually, even less so. Your ignorance is simply astounding.

I figured War of Southern Rebellion had too many big words for you.

It was no more and no less than a rebellion against the authority of the United States which should have been put down without mercy shown.

Perhaps Thaddeus was right; we should have punished all former Confederates and treated the South like conquered land.

How anyone can defend a rebellion in the name of the right of a state to maintain slavery within its borders is beyond me.

That's what you figured, huh? lol

How about the war between the Confederate States of America and the united States of America? That's what it actually was, though I don't expect you to acknowledge real history.
