Millions of Yankees did not fight in Southern armies, not even the rabid RATS. That was a pretty inept attempt at sophistry.Only for someone to stupid to understand the post. GoPartisan attempts to make hay of the [alleged] "fact" that maybe 300,000 Southerners supported the Union (3.3%), yet is oblivious to the fact that almost HALF of the Northerners (meaning millions) were not supporters of Lincoln/Republicans.

I understood the controversy well enough to understand that you tried to distort the point by pointing to Copperheads and other near-traitors as somehow being comparable to the hundreds of thousands of Southerners who did not join the Traitors attempting to destroy the Union.
Who would try to deny that there were large numbers of DemocRAT quasi-Traitors in the North. Like in the Revolution only a minority was on the side of Righteousness.
