"Where the hell do you get off deciding that your cause was the only one worth fighting for or that your general is the only one deserving honor?"

Never mind that you will not agree, but one can, on very sound grounds, take the position that the South fought a defensive and hence just war while the North fought an offensive and agressive and hence unjust war. That in particular is my position and it is the one and only reason that I stand with the "neo-Confederates".

On the other hand combatting a rebellion is a noble cause in and of itself.
