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.

No I pointed out that factually, out of the millions of Southerners only at most 300K sided with the Lincoln, while almost half the union states (accounting for close to 10 million), and 97% population of of the Southern states sided with the Confederacy. MILLIONS are far more than hundreds of thousands, unless Hamiltonian math has led you to believe otherwise.

Perhaps those millions who supported peaceful separation were re-issued at 10% of their initial value.

Who denies that millions of DemocRATS were in the North? They were a constant problem for the Patriots attempting to deal with the Slavers' Revolt.
