Then you really have no true concept of the war and what it meant to your ancestors and mine, slave owners or not. ANy many who serves his country as volunteer or conscript, in my opinion is a hero. You have evidently bought in to all the revision history that teaches South= bad; North = good. Answer me this....why did it take 100 years for blacks to obtain their civil rights from the US, northern backed, democrat dominated govt??? Can you???? I doubt it.
