Yes, arrogant to the max. Flawed thinking and morals. They were democrats and like today they had no problems sucking their low information voters into a war that promised nothing for them but death.
As far as killing people, you start a war then you had better expect casualties. What were they supposed to do? Find jobs for those poor deluded secessionists? Yeah, that’s the ticket just like today.
The south was wrong, morally and politically, started a war by seceding, and firing the first shot and THEY LOST so get over it. Stop trying to relive and refight the democrat party days of “glory”.
I understand. You’re a lunatic.
