Great. They revere treason.
Quote:The South's defeat was extremely humiliating.
Actually, it was a foregone conclusion. Like Japan in WWII the South never had a chance.
To be fair, how is the South wanting independence from the North different from the US having wanted independence from England?
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
