It is really remarkable that Americans are now further from achieving Lincoln's dream of national unity than they were in 1890; there are people in this thread right now who feel more animosity towards the Confederacy than did many of the men who actually fought against it.
That most of you seem to view the civil war as 'WWII on American soil' is an indictment of the American educational system.
Everyone practiced slavery at that time including blacks in Africa who sold their siblings as animals, The left is pathetic.
No they weren't by 1860 most of Europe was not using slavery and on top of that most had outlawed the practice by that time without having to fight a freakin civil war over it. An on top that the legacy of the confederacy doesn't end there because we have a little embarrassment called Jim Crowxthat followed it. Which fwibis the era most of these monuments were made.
