Anti-Confederate?

Why support a legacy of slaveholding losers who couldn't get it together enough to even have a standard gauge of railroad tracks, and got their heads kicked in my a bunch of blue coats from Boston and New York?

Plus, the Falcons stink.

Even though outnumbered in all things military, the South inflicted over 100,000 more deaths than the Union. You would know that if you ever read a fricken history book.

Uh, you might want to check up a bit on the city of New York and its involvement in the Southern War for Independence. Two questions, if the war was about slavery why did the city of New York actually consider joining the South in secession? And secondly, if the citizens of New York were so proudly behind the union cause why did one of the biggest riots in the history of these United States happen in NY in 1863? What, they sold out of union flags? The blue coats might have well have come from Boston after they finished hanging and beating abolitionists as history tells us but New York seemed a little on the fence
