Yes and the good german soldiers were just fighting for the fatherland and the good japanese soldiers were just fighting for the emperor.

And the good Jihadists are just fighting against western imperialism.

The Condeferacy LOST....and it’s as relevent today as Nazi Germany or Imperial japan.

Lee knew what he was fighting for.

Virginia Governor John Letcher, 1861-1865

“The Northern States must strike from their statute books their personal liberty bills, and fulfill their consitutional obligations in regard to fugitive slaves and fugitives from justice. If our slaves escape into non-slaveholding states, they must be delivered up”

Well in that case the colonists were the bad guys in the fight against Britain. After all, one of their complains against England in the Declaration of Independence was that Britain was encouraging slave insurrections. And when the British troops marched on the colonies they offered freedom to any slaves who joined their side and fought with them. All that rot about liberty and independence that the colonists were talking about was really just about slavery.
