It is a lot easier to mouth self important boasting crap at a man in shackles than in front of a line of battle spitting lead.

Try to get a grip. The people of the South, 90% didn't own slaves, but wanted out of the Union. They fought, bled and died to try to get away from centralized federalism. This is Fact. Slavery was the excuse to get away. It could have been about tulip bulbs. It is your kind of brainwashed thinking that is allowing the Feds to destroy us now, open your brain, Question the whole thing.

In recent decades the Left has been trying to transform the Confederacy into the nineteenth-century version of Nazi Germany and Robert E. Lee into an American Hitler. There are even some Freepers who have drunk that Koolade.
