Seriously?Observe the results of letting the perpetrators of the Civil War get off as opposed to punishing the perpetrators of WWII. Ipso Facto.And they made a mistake that can only be seen as a mistake with time. The Union should have done what the Allies did after WWII. More trials for treason and war crimes.Funny those that fought and actually won the war against the confederacy disagreed.
Who are you to retroactively overrule their forgiveness and reopen those old wounds? What moral authority do you have to "unforgive" someone who was forgiven by the actual wronged parties?
They made a mistake?
What do you base that on?
What results?
The South went from being a enemy break a way nation, to a loyal part of the US in short order.
Germany went from being a enemy nation to loyal member of the US, in short order.![]()
I have posted excepts of a speech in which the President of the United States praised the loyalty and the service of Southerns in the Spanish American War, which was just 23 years after the end of the Civil War.
What complaint about the South, which you claim not to hate, do you have to offer to dispute that they quickly became and stayed a loyal part of the US?
