"When are these people going to stop fighting the Civil War?"

When the Yankees admit that they were (criminally) wrong and give an abject apology.

You do realize that the participants of the Civil War are all dead, don't you?

There's nothing to apologize for. Lincoln saved the union, and the Civil War ended slavery. The Confederacy wanted to end the former, and perpetuate the latter. All this crap about "states' rights" and the protection of "liberty" would mean something if the South had actually stood for something other than the enslavement of fellow human beings.

That war, IMO, was inevitable from the beginning. Research the people involved in the Revolution and their efforts to bring education, among other things, to the tidewater states. The cultural differences (not including the plantation and slave system) are still there and neither side is showing signs of changing. Artillery won't break out again in the near future, but that war's not over.

And my ancestors weren't even here yet....

We don't do 'abject' for anyone. Try holding your breath, that might bring about an apology, or at least you won't care after about 8 minutes if you do it right. :-)
