Detractors of War:
- Undermined democratic institutions in the South
- Imperialist aggression against Southern culture
- Uncompensated property loss for slave owners
These were positives; the South was anything but Democratic, Southern culture was one of oppression and reactionary politics, and slaveowners deserved a lot more than just losing their property. The South was not going to give up the institution of slavery until either:
A. Technology improved enough that slavery was clearly economically unviable, and even then slavery would last after that.
B. Blood was spilled.
Also, who else is disturbed that four of our users would not go to war against Nazi Germany and Japan
after they declared war on us?
