I have never understood the intentions of anyone who believes everyone has to live like they do....or be forced to at the point of a gun. Sorta like I don't understand the Taliban. So I won't even pretend to understand Northern thinking. But I do understand northern results. And I know Sherman marched from Atlanta to the sea and stole or destroyed everything in a 100 mile swath. Now do you know how far it is from Atlanta to the coast? And can you imagine how wide 100 miles swath is? Again, I say, most Southerners were fighting in defense of their HOMES. If you cannot understand that, there is no hope for you.
You don't have to live like I do but when you renege on a contract to hold your fellow human beings in bondage like the Sudan, we have a problem.

That's a dumb comparison, but if you want to go there, the Taliban liked to beat with whips, and so did slaveowners.

War is hell. Maybe you will learn that instead of going straight to war, maybe it would've been a good idea to work something out with terms of separation instead of rebellion.

I'm fully aware that most Southerners fought for their homeland and I respect them very much for that. I've said over and over it's a terrible shame that 600,000 died for the fight for filthy lucre of a few.
