In short, LH, you're spouting absolute bullshit. I can't tell if you're simply ignorant of the history of slavery in America, of the history of the Ante-Bellum South, of the politics iof the run-up to the Civil War, or you're simply among the group of Neo-Confederates perpetuating the pernicious & fantastical "Lost Cause" and "Redemption" myths.

I suggest you read the South Carolina Ordinance of Secession, available on line in dozens of places, and then tell me what the South went to war for. Check those of the other confederate ststes as well.

In closing, I'll leave you with the words of Frederick Douglass; this is an excerpt & the whole address is well worth reading.

Good, wise, and generous men at the North, in power and out of power, for whose good intentions and patriotism we must all have the highest respect, doubt the wisdom of observing this memorial day, and would have us forget and forgive, strew flowers alike and lovingly, on rebel and on loyal graves. This sentiment is noble and generous, worthy of all honor as such; but it is only a sentiment after all, and must submit to its own rational limitations. There was a right side and a wrong side in the late war, which no sentiment ought to cause us to forget, and while to-day we should have malice toward none, and charity toward all, it is no part of our duty to confound right with wrong, or loyalty with treason. If the observance of this memorial day has any apology, office, or significance, it is derived from the moral character of the war, from the far-reaching, unchangeable, and eternal principles in dispute, and for which our sons and brothers encountered hardship, danger, and death.
