Evidently, since some of the Confederate veterans claimed to have been glad they lost. That really perplexes me though it is easier to understand why some modern Southerners could have that point of view. We did win just about all the wars since that one and there is the effect of Northern biased history, particularly in the past 40 years.

I have no Unionist ancestors and will remain unReconstructed for eternity. As they say up North, "Shocker".
