May I air a view from abroad i.e. the UK?
Firstly, I don't think politics and history can be discussed in isolation.....they are entwined in my view because the history of humankind is about the struggle between the rulers and the downtrodden.
As regards the American Civil War, from my perspective the best side won because slavery was abolished, which wasn't about economics totally, it was blatant racism as well.
That racism still exists 2 centuries later, not so brutal and acceptable, but still existing.
Here's hoping the South never rises again! ( takes large sup of whisky as toast! )

A man is born to a virgin mother, lives, dies, comes alive again and then disappears into the clouds to become his Dad. How likely is that?
