Thank you Josh for your well thought out post. I still think the North was just as responsible if not more than the South for this war however your ideas are reasonable and I think I understand where you are coming from.
Those of us with close ties to the South sometimes get upset with all the negativity associated with what we consider an honorable heritage. If I were the descendant of slaves I most probably would feel very differently. But then I think I would be just as offended by the way the whole country treated my ancestors as well.
