I think the south views things a whole lot differently.

You are right Wolf and ill try 1 more time to explain it.

Slavery was already dying out years before the war. Within 10 years it would have been over anyway. The whole attitude of the country was changing. What happened was the Northern scumbags wanted to pass Federal Law outlawing it right away.
Until that point laws about such things as slavery were left up to the individual states and just as today they saw the Federal govt slowly taking away rights from the States...They knew that the Constitution was on their side and that once the Federal Govt gained control it would never get smaller only bigger...

So these Mo's want to say it was all about Slavery well let em have it, it kinda was. But not about if it was right or wrong, there was no disagreement about that ( not saying nobody wanted to keep slavery but the political climate overall) but WHO should pass the laws outlawing it. The Feds or the States.

I bet 99.9% of the people here wish the states could decide about offshore gaming instead of the Feds doing it for you ..........and i could list about 300 more things the states would be much better off deciding for themselves....

oh yeah there is a Rebel Flag on I65 south in Nashville and a statue of Nathan Bedford Forrest that some nut put up at least 20 years ago.

Nathan Bedford Forrest (July 13, 1821 – October 29, 1877) was a lieutenant general in the Confederate Army during the American Civil War. He is remembered both as a self made and innovative cavalry leader during the war and as a figure in the postwar establishment of the first Ku Klux Klan organization opposing the reconstruction era in the South.

Nathan Bedford Forrest was the finest cavalry officer, either horse or mechanized, ever born on American soil.

After his surrender, when asked by a Union Officer who he thought his greatest general was,
General Robert E. Lee replied, 'Sir, a gentleman I have never had the pleasure to meet, General Nathan Bedford Forrest.'

Shelby Foote who wrote the monumental 3-volume Civil War: 'A Narrative' held that there were
two authentic geniuses to emerge from the Civil War, Abraham Lincoln & Gen. Nathan Bedford Forrest.

His greatest adversary William T. Sherman called him “the most
remarkable man our civil war produced on either side’ & ‘he had a
strategy which was original & incomprehensible. There was no theory
or art of war by which I could calculate with any degree of certainty
what Forrest was up to.’

It's not a big deal at all. Just one more thing for the welfare blacks to bitch about. In their eyes the reparations should go on forever.
