[QUOTE="outsidethecamp, post: 68211102, member: 351515"] Did you know: Neither the Federal Government nor the Confederate governments went to war over the issue of slavery? One third of the states where slavery was legal during the war fought for the North? Tens of thousands of black Americans fought on both the Federal and Confederate sides? Homes, neighbors and entire towns were purposely destroyed as part of the "Total War" military strategy? Perhaps the greatest enmity between the North and the South resulted from what happened after the war? That the Ku Klux Klan of 1860's and 1870's was not the same as the Klan of 1920? It was disbanded by Nathan Bedford Forrest when the Klan was co-opted by others committing lawless acts. "Religion in the South made its most useful contribution to Southern culture only after the war ended, when it emerged as a convincing symbol of the value of spiritual victory in the midst of earthly defeat."
