If the North did what most wanted to, enslave the South for generations...

You are mistaken.

Most people in the north wanted a soft peace. This is surprising when you consider how barbarously the rebels acted in treating Union POW's and loyal Union men, who were murdered by the hundred and hanged by the dozen respectively, but it is still true.

I admittly don't know a whole lot about the Cival war. I have learned a lot more since I moved to Georgia. Maybe they should rename it to Sherman instead of Lee. It is amazing and a testiment to real leadership that America has become so united since the war ended. There is some animosity but more than most countries have been in the past and present. Somebody the other day told me that Ohioans may not be treated so badly in the South until I told them Grant, Sherman were both born in Ohio.
