I have no great love of the confederacy.

However, I DO have a great deal of respect for SOME of their political ideas and for some of their leaders.

On the other hand, I find it difficult to have much respect for people who simply, and more often than not caustically, dismiss those ideas out of hand and/or show disdain for the brave men who, however misguidedly, fought for those ideas.

Have a nice evening.

The slave issue was a curse hanging over them, however. By including that in the non negotiables, they doomed themselves morally.

Guess you never got involved in the great Civil War debate here. You have a lovely evening also and a Merry Christmas. You’re welcome.

The northerners werent fighting to prevent slavery. They fought for other reasons. Most of them probably couldnt have cared less about the slavery issue. Thats a fairy tell.
