BTW just think if the Confederates won and got to have their own little country. Unions would definitely have been outlawed. Segregation would be a way of life. Police answerable only to those with money. Because people with money called the shots in that farce of a government. The grunts fought to "defend their homes" which is exactly what the ones trying to keep slavery alive wanted.

And yes its as simple as that. They made an open attack on the US and they got pounded and conquered for it.

It's still the history of the area no matter what government existed. And the BTW points sounds a bit familiar even now, their just buried behind more noble facades.

I'm not supporting a return of the Confederacy, or it's ideals, I just think it should be allowed to be recognized for what it was.
