In Memory of the Gallant Southern Soldiers who died defending their Constitutional Rights!

And congratulations to the North for winning! Why doesn’t anybody ever give credit where credit is due. I think both sides had positives and negatives, but it seems that the North gives the credit to the South and the South NEVER recognizes that the North won...why is that???

"naps", let me take a shot at that one.

actually, i personally know of NOT EVEN ONE person over the age of 10, who doesn't know that the unionists( i.e., lincoln, the TYRANT's, side), won the war.

as far as i know that is NOT & never has been the issue since 1865.

what IS at issue is:

1. the DISHONESTY of lincoln & his merry band of thugs (who were, imVho, PERSONALLY responsible for the needless DEATH of a MILLION Americans),

2.whether lincoln deserves to be remembered as a TYRANT/WAR CRIMINAL or as a POTUS, and

3. what , if anything, should be done to remember the deeds of the heroes/martyrs of BOTH sides (which has not already been done), including the remembrance of the THOUSANDS of:

a. slaughtered, innocent dixie civilians &

b.countless THOUSANDS of CSA prisoners, who "mysteriously disappeared", while in federal captivity.

I realize that the North won, but other than ending slavery, I see zero positives to that victory.

Let’s examine some of the outcomes:

1. Government of the STATES, (Each state being a sovereign entity, etc.) GONE, and replaced with a centralized, all-powerful Federal Government.

2. The South being so devestated, that it took 130 years or so to recover.

3. The flower of youth of BOTH sides gone.

4. Un-Ending emnity between races, and even sectional in some cases.

Just to name four.............
