During WWII, only a small percentage of Germans gassed Jews, but all Germans soldiers were fighting for a regime that did so as a matter of policy.

The south was practically a police state by mid-war, but some of the rebel soldiers didn't care as long as blacks were held down. Others saw that the idea of individual or states' rights were a sham cause and began to desert in large numbers.

When the U.S. Army liberated Knoxville, Tennessee, cheering residents waved American flags they had hidden at risk to their lives and laid Confederate flags in the main street for their liberators to walk on.

LOL. Lincoln turned the north into a police state before the war really even started. He arrested legally elected legislatures and many many thousands of ordinary citizens, often on just the suspicion of a suspicion, very often with no charges ever being filed against them.
