It was “my country right or wrong” in the South and defending their homes from the evil invading hordes of blue barbarians was their patriotic duty.

So you are saying that the million or so 'Boy's in Blue' who volunteered to risk their lives defending the Union were just an invading horde, and not patriotic young men doing what they thought was right?

Yes.

So you admit then, that the war was not about slavery?

I had a great great grandfather on my mother's side and a great grandfather on my father's who fought the Yankee menace--one served under Wade Hampton and the other under Bedford Forrest.

So of course God was on OUR side;)
