Well he does have a point. There seems to be a lot of hatred for the United States showing through the veneer on these threads, that I don't see your side taking issue with. This post is just one example

My in-laws hated Yankees with a passion. Their parents were children during the war and had experienced Sherman's troops coming through their farms and reconstruction, so perhaps their strong feelings were to be expected. Perhaps others whose families were brutalized during the war feel the same way. I suspect that is behind some of the posts you object to.
The majority of posters on these threads are history and heritage buffs. I've certainly learned a lot from them -- from your posts and from others. It has deepened my respect for the Constitution, the Bill of Rights, and the rule of law. We all probably share that respect. Cheers.

Probably calling the other side traitors doesn't help either.

did you mean to say that the rapes, tortures, armed robbery & coldblooded murders of 92 members of MY family, only because they were NOT white persons, by the damnyankee army was OK with you???
was torture, intentional starvation, denial of basic medical care, blankets,clothing & housing to, and the coldblooded MURDER at least 30,00 CSA POWs by the lincoln regime OK with you???
the numbers are CORRECT!!!
