As much as I’m a leery about Confederate pride (which nowadays shouldn’t really exist), I do think they should be careful. The rebels weren’t nazis, they were Americans. Not everyone was fighting to keep their slaves (just as not every union soldier was fighting to free their slaves). I think I agree here with Warb, the Civil War was a lot more complicated than a “white supremacist uprising.” In the south they call it the war of northern aggression, which I think is pretty silly but it’s a good reminder that they seceded, and then the north started the war. For many southern soldiers, they were fighting for their freedom (and yeah fuck them if it was freedom to own slaves but a lot of them didn’t see it that way, the south was their home and if they were now a part of the CSA they were going to fight for that).
