Yes I am.
Please explain.
I'm talking about how the Southron supporter will spend hours lambasting Lincoln and the Union for actions that Davis and the confederacy also did. Mama condemns Lincoln for his alleged Constitutional infractions but ignores the actions of Davis. People will complain about prisoners held in the North without trial but ignore the same situation in the confederacy. They will go to great lengths to try and paint Lincoln as a racist but ignore worse sentiments in their own leaders. Hypocrisy thy name is Southron Supporter.
The Civil War was an ugly piece of business and neither side can claim clean hands. The only question to ask is: was it worth it? I believe it was worth it.
Mark Neely wrote two books to "prove" that thesis, but omitted consideration from the fact that the Confederacy was set upon in its cradle and was fighting for its life against a much more powerful adversary from birth. Exigency and extremity lay much more heavily upon the Confederate cause than on the Union one; in many parts of the North, the casualty lists were the only sign of warfare -- other than the great prosperity attendant on Lincoln's deficit spending and spread around through contracts, payrolls, and the recruitment-bounty program.
[Truth in advocacy: two of my own family members, great-great-uncles on my father's maternal side, accepted the bounties to stand in for draftees -- then disappeared and evaded the military police. They were serious drunkards and wouldn't have been much use to the Indiana regiments campaigning with Rosecrans; the limits of their usefulness were pretty much reached when they occasionally took the poet James Whitcomb Riley home in a wheelbarrow from one of their hotel bar drinking sessions.]
