I find it very strange that the same people that think the South had no right to break away from the United States, think that the United States breaking away from England was a great thing. Also Texas breaking away from Mexico. Then the various wars that we have fought helping other countries break apart, or try to. Korea, Vietnam both North from South, and many others. All great deeds to most. I believe Slavery was a bad thing, and probably on its way out without the war, but slowly. It happened that way in other places. Also don't forget that the North was big on importing slaves for a long time, to sell them. miles
Its way to understand. The victors write the history, which then gets pounded into the psyche of elementary school kids. Most of those kids never develop the ability to think for themselves, or question the official dogma.
And it doesn't just apply to history.
