I always refer to the war, as the war of Northern Aggression. 2 of my grandfathers served with the Confederate States of America. One died at Gettysburg, the other was wounded and recovered from his wound

@@michael-jl7qv Who fired the first shots again? And please spare me the argument of so-called self-defense. Whether you like it or not, the South was not economically sustainable in the long run, no matter how much you glorify its achievements and glorious culture. Slavery, wage slavery. Never mind, it was never about that anyway. and one last question...how old are you? 2 grandfathers served with the CSA?

@@Bonygasse I've always said the southern aristocracy seceded because of slavery while the average southerner fought for their homeland. The vast majority of southerners did not own slaves or support the institution but the people in charge absolutely did and seceded to preserve the state's rights to slavery, there's no denying that.

The majority maybe didn’t own slaves but to say they didn’t support the institution would not be accurate. At a minimum, they saw African Americans as inferior and their proper place as being in chains subject to servitude. They detested any abolitionist movement in the north, even if the majority of northerners weren’t there to fight for freeing the slaves.

the white house certainly was more properly referred to as the 'blight' house while stinkin' lincoln was in residence there.
