What does that have to do with the Yankee theory that might makes right?I have no idea what the fuck that is supposed to mean.So losing mean your cause is wrong?"Civil war" means two side fighting for control over the same government. The South had no interest in controlling the federal government, so it wasn't a civil war.They weren’t exactly “traitors”. They were serving their states, who by democratic process seceded from the Union. From their point of view the Union were traitors for attacking them and their right to govern themselves. It was a civil war, meaning both sides were Americans. Not saying they should be “honored”, but remembered yes.Honoring those patriots who fought for the security and preservation of the United States is one thing and Americans should never forget them or their sacrifices.We have to learn about our history, honor those that fought and learn from mistakes made so many years ago.
Honoring TRAITORS of the United States who took up arms against this Nation and the Constitution to create their own Slave Nation separate and apart is anathema to all reasonable and honorable conduct!
War for Southern Independence then? Still lost.
How about Poland in WW II?
Nah, it just means the brilliant battlefield tactician was a terrible strategist for winning Independence for the South.
Not too surprising. Try this: Lee should have acted more like Washington and avoided major confrontations. Drag out the war, get some international recognition, and wait for the other side to get tired of losings sons.
