I think we can all agree slavery and the holocost were bad ideas and had bad morality. But are you still upset that southerners you lost the civil war and germans that you lost ww2.
A question for southerners and germans.

I fixed your quote.
Not so much upset as wishing the South had been able to hold out for concessions to limit the over-reaching powers of the Federal government.

Some of both are, to my knowledge, and some aren't. I guess a lot depends on whether or not you lived through WW2 or if your parents were bitter and passed it on to you.
A lot of youth just don't care, since it's in the past and has no bearing on them in their eyes. Not all, of course. It's a mixed bag.

I dont understand your second sentence but i dont call myself a southerner even though im from virginia.
And i dont think any southerners give a rats ass about it, because nobody alive today lived through the civil war or knew anyone that lived during the civil war.
FYI the last person to know someone who was in the civil war died a couple years ago. She got married to a 80 somethin year old who was in the civil war when she was 14 in the early 20th century.

I meant WW2, natually no one still alive would have been part of the civil war.
I have admittedly seen some bitter southerners, but that's in the deep deep south of Montgomery. It's slowly changing though. Each generation is less likely to believe their parent's anti-Northerner propaganda

Do you seriously know people who call it that?
As with much about the South, that simultaneously amuses, frightens, and annoys me.
Me, my Grandparents (now deceased) and some others.Do you seriously know people who call it that?
It was the North that invaded the South, after all.

As a right honerable gentalman from the glorious south (although in the war we were illegaly halted from excising or state right to succeed) I'm not upset we lost the war. I am upset that the northern history makers have pushed the lies that it was mostly about slaves when it wasn't.

What do you expect? They broke away from the Union.

Wasn't much unity there was it?
Absolute BS.
The CW was about slavery at every turn. Saying otherwise is the intellectual equivalent of Holocaust denials or those conspiracists who argue that the fed has no legal standing.

I don't consider myself a Southerner although Florida did join the Confederacy...
I am not so much glad that the Confederacy lost but that the United States was reunited. I don't so much wish that the Confederacy won but that the United States had fixed the problems that caused the secession.
I am very glad Germany lost WWII. A world where Germany had won isn't worth thinking about.
There also is a problem with people learning Hollywood History of both the Civil War and World War II.

Reading this quote, it's clear that you're correct when you say that you're not from the South. A whole lot of Southerners care very deeply about the Civil War.
I personally am not mad that the South lost the Civil War. I think the US is probably better off as one nation.

the same could be said for confederacy
they did not have the right to secede from the union, as ruled by the Supreme Court, and therefore they were in an act of rebellion. They attacked first.
but this isn't a "who was right and who was wrong" thread
yes, there are some who care
but they are dying out

Bad comparison, and it couldnt just be about slavery considering must farmers in the south couldnt afford slaves.

I would be amazed if Germans on this forum wished they had not lost the war.

Texas is the only state with the right to secede, and it was part of their acceptance into the union that they be allowed to do so if they so chose.
