The purpose of reassessing the War of Secession is to debunk the anti-Christian 'might makes right' axiom or the Prussian 'war is an extension of politics' for the millions of indoctrinated disciples of government schools and government history books.
By demystifying/destigmatizing the cause of the South, we see secession as a cure for what ails us, so that our off-spring might know the ideal of liberty and provide the institutions that can be passed down to our heirs.
