People who say that the Confederates were "losers" fail to realize that nobody won in the Civil War. We all lost. It was a tragedy that people have turned into a sports game, cheering on whatever their favorite team is, using American lives as the tally.

Being the CSA went from a free sovereign nation to being enslaved⦠I am pretty sure we did not win the war of Northern aggression.

Exactly. Gettysburg, for example, was a human tragedy on an horrific scale. Not just the battle. What that Pennsylvania town suffered through post-battle is near apocalyptic. The lives destroyed from all that killing and maiming is hard to comprehend even today.
@BlueandGray1864
Well, what did the north really win? You see it in the streets every day, crime! Illegals pouring across the border every day! Lincoln and his little Punk Sherman were war criminals!
@BlueandGray1864
Yockey was right about how a war against a power who is not a real enemy is political folly and only serves to strengthen the relative power of third-party forces
@BlueandGray1864
No, we definitely lost. On the bright side, we learned some important lessons for the next time we establish an independent Dixie: Have a strong domestic manufacturing base and a strong central government to coordinate a more coherent war effort.
