Speculation. Nevertheless, it is established that the north was not a paragon of virtue. I'm sick of the PC revisionist attitude that "North Good, South Bad." Please, tell it like it really was.

You keep saying that over and over, but please show me any statement I have made, or any of the others here rebuking the Lost Cause myths about the war, that claim the North was above reproach?

I don't know where you're seeing the "PC attitude" but it sure isn't from me.

Not you specifically perhaps, but on these civil war threads, I always see an unfair attack on anything southern coupled with an unqualified defense of the North. It's not a balanced approach that I have seen.
