I might add that most southerners clearly saw the north as invaders and fought to protect their homes - quite fiercely I might add. I love that quote from Jackson on Henry Hill when Bernard Bee said his lines were broken and asked waht Jackson intended to do. He replied, "Kill them all, Sir." That is what you do to an invader - kill them.

The insurgent armies mostly melted away, riven with desertion.
