The truth is that the Confederacy while wrong about slavery was right in almost every other way regarding the relation between free peoples and government. Their idea of government was the closest to that of the Founders.
Whereas, the Yankees, while right about slavery were wrong on practically every other issue and their vision of a strong centralized state with the authority and power to enforce its moral edicts is what is wrong with our country today.
Setting aside slavery and idea of empire, there is not one person on this board who wouldn’t rather live under a government following the ideas espoused by the Confederacy than those we live under today.
Wrong in every respect as I will show later...
