My mention of the confederate mistreatment of southerners is to disprove any moral superiority of the reb cause ...

By that logic, if I document mistreatment of Northerners and/or Southerners by Lincoln and the Feds, I thereby disprove any moral superiority of the Northern cause?

Our side doesn't need to claim moral perfection. We freed the slaves and broke the power of the aristocracy built on human bondage. I truly believe good men were drawn into service of the CSA, but I also believe that the root cause of the CSA was rotten.
