The Federals invaded my homeland. That is the reason my family fought. Not for slaves, not for wealth, simply to remove the presence of people who felt compelled to destroy the South, to force re-union, to end slavery, for whatever reason.
No matter the reason, the South had the right to leave, and did so. Slavery didn't give the North a valid reason to violate Southern homes & firesides.
If you are indeed from the South, you should have known these facts from birth.
stainless asked to restrict this to battlefields. Thus, I will not respond.
