That is exactly what many in the North wanted as has been the case in many countries. Look how Rome handled rebellions or how the Chinese extracted revenge for civil war. The North certainly could have executed the leaders of the Confederacy, and extracted heavy reparation from the South but wisely our leaders forgoed the desire for revenge in order to bring the South back into the union.If your premise is true then shooting them for their treasonous behavior was the right course of action.What's in a name ? The southern states have always been part of the USA, and always will be, and YOU KNOW IT. You just don't like it, that's all. LOL. And like I said, YOU OWE US.No way. The southern states secede and declared their independence from the United States. Furthermore, they were not the United States South as you claim, the name of their nation was the Confederate States of America.WHAAATT ?? Of course the Confederacy was part of the United States. Can you locate it on this map ?I don't see how confederate troops can be considered veterans of the United States when they fought against the United States. Surely, you don't consider the Confederacy a part of the United States even though they seceded from the nation.The Confederate soldiers WERE veterans of the United States Armed Forces. Your way of excluding them from this country, is incredibly bigoted against 90 million people living in the 11 southern states. Rethink.

And the troops of the North also fought against the United States, when they fought against the United States South. Oh, I can see I'm having to conduct a training class to go through this thread.
