“Might does not always make right.”

Right makes right.

The victors of the War Between the States have had everything their way since 1865 and keep saying over and over and over that they were right. That’s called victor’s justice. And it is unsurprising.

Well, they were.

That’s called victor’s justice. And it is unsurprising.

And ever since the Civil War the losing side has engaged in revisionism to try and give their cause a veil of legitimacy and claims for the moral high ground. That isn't surprising either.
