A Republican president would be sitting in the White House for the next 20 years and they would eventually set all slaves free with no compensation for slave-owners.

Cry me a river for the poor oppressed slave owners. Why should they have expected even one penny for the life and liberty of another human being? They deserve to have been shot on sight.

The Civil War was totally justified, even Sherman's march to the sea, and apologists for the Old South are apologists for slavery. Their nostalgia for an evil and inferior culture sickens me.

You know ccmay, every time I see a post like yours I remember that we killed twice as many yankees as y'all did Southerners. A little more ammo and we would have got you all!

The Civil War was totally justified,

How can you say this? You must be a student of the "might makes right" school of thought. It was an unconstitutional, illegal war that killed destroyed thousands of lives. There is no justification for these actions - Sherman himself said if the Union lost, he would be tried for war crimes.
