I don't know about anyone else , but, I have 3 great grandfathers who fought in that war. Two for the south one for the north. None were slaveowners , just dirt farmers. I wish I could pick teir minds for reasons why. All indications are that it went deeper than slavery. One of those mysteries we'll never know for sure. I'm not ashamed of any one of them though

I had two great great grandfathers who fought for the south. Both were dirt farmers. Had nothing to do with slavery. Heck, General Lee disagreed with slavery! He chose to fight for his homeland though. My grandmother has told me about her grandfather (who fought in the war). It really wasn't that long ago. In fact, my old man had Florida's last Confederate widow speak at his school when he was a youngster.
