There appear to be more haters of the South these days. I was young during the centennial of the Civil War (or War of Northern Aggression) and there wasn’t the ill will that you see today.
Maybe my grandmother had some ill will, but she was born only a decade after the War and the damage inflicted by Sherman was an everyday part of her life.

They’re just jealous. I mean, look at New York City. What American would want to live there?
Well, if there is, I sure don't know any here in Illinois, or anywhere else I travel who think that way.
Maybe I'm just not hanging out with those people. I think most folks just think of us as Americans.
When I visit the battle fields, I am so greatly saddened that this country could have ever come to the point of arms. People who've studied history understand why the South rebelled. Though I wish it had never happened, I respect their guts in standing up for states' rights.
We're Americans. I love this country. God bless and protect us from all that is trying to invade and/or attack our culture, liberties and way of life.
Patriots unite!
You see many many precivil war homes up north but not too many in the south. The yankees burned most the beautiful old homes here. The ones that were spared were used as headquarters or housing for the yankees and they didn't care what happened to the women and children burned out or put out of there homes. I understand why your grandmother felt that way.
So you complain about South haters and use that tired old term "War of Northern Aggression"? Don't you just love the irony in that?
