your fanatical approach to the Civil war does not lead to any reconstruction, or constructive dialog.
.."foreign, albeit depraved, citizens" yet they fought for their states.

Those guys would probably have shaken hands with Nazi soldiers. They seem to have a greater deal of patience for inhumanity than I have.

you do know who they are?
Actual combatants from the Union and the Confederacy..how is it they can shake hands after killing each other?
Why is their respect for each other lost today?

Americans should have zero respect for Confederates, and, by extension, anyone who sympathizes with them. Name one thing worthwhile about their cause. I've always been warned about the mortal perils of dying while fighting for a bad cause. In that case, the only noble trait displayed by the CSA veterans is that they were daredevils.

The left has become infected with insane puritanism against anything not PC or extremist "progressive"

Fighting against rebels traitors who fight on behalf of a slave economy, and take up arms against American soldiers is not being PC. It's being a decent human being and a patriot.

The State of Mississippi Declares it if Fighting on Behalf of the Institution of Slavery......

Mississippi's Declaration of the Secession from the Federal Union.

In the momentous step which our State has taken of dissolving its connection with the government of which we so long formed a part, it is but just that we should declare the prominent reasons which have induced our course.

Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery-- the greatest material interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth. These products are peculiar to the climate verging on the tropical regions, and by an imperious law of nature, none but the black race can bear exposure to the tropical sun. These products have become necessities of the world, and a blow at slavery is a blow at commerce and civilization. That blow has been long aimed at the institution, and was at the point of reaching its consummation. There was no choice left us but submission to the mandates of abolition, or a dissolution of the Union, whose principles had been subverted to work out our ruin. That we do not overstate the dangers to our institution, a reference to a few facts will sufficiently prove.

Yes indeed; we must remove all vestiges of our history lest the whiny leftist snowflakes infesting the nation become offended. :rofl2:

i am not going in to the causes of the civil war. It had to be fought to absolve the original sin of slavery and all the politics that followed, so in that sense the players were prisoners of their fate.

Was their cause just? mostly not, but you lack perspective by demonization.
It's what caused the punative policies of reconstruction -which served no one but hate and carpetbaggers.

I look to Lincoln's plan instead. Bind the wounds, re-unite, and pass it into history along with the lessons of the dangers of regionalism
Learn from it instead of trying to erase history.
