it's a terrible shame that 600,000 died fighting for their homes....
we didn't own slaves...we didn't live in South Carolina...but the Yankees invaded and occupied our city just the same

And like I said, it's a shame that the war was pursued since the only beneficiaries of a Southern victory would have been a few slaveowners. You're responsible for your mistakes. Your cause should not have been the perpetuation of slavery, but it was and you had to lose for the good of our country, the slaves, and yourselves ultimately.
