The north and South are two very different and distinct people, and cultures. I wouldn't have it any other way.
The Yanks hate us and that's fine. We have no great love for y'all either. But it begs the question, if y'all hate us so much, why not just let us go and leave us alone? Oh, I guess it's because of the tax revenue that we generate so y'all can have your "internal improvements" without spending your own money, and the weather for you're vacations.
I'm unsure on why you've left 4 comments here. This video debunks many parts of the lost cause myth. Rather than addressing the points made in the video you go off on a weird tangent by attacking the USA.
The USA was not perfect before, during and after the civil war but no argument you make dispels the obvious truth that the CSA was a nation create to preserve slavery and white supremacy.
When each State VOLUNTARILY joined the union, it was well understood that anyone of them could leave at any point, in the manner of which they joined, for any reason, right, wrong, or otherwise, that they so desired. No other State has the right to force another into a union that it does not wish to be apart of. This is a part of freedom. To associate with those that you wish to, and to not associate with those that you have no desire to.
#3. Unification. How can there be unification when one section seeks to impose its will through coercion? Never mind that We never were a nation, nor will we ever be one.
When the colonies fought for their independence from Britain, they each won their Sovereignty. Each colony was listed by name, individually in the Treaty of Paris. In the first political union that was established under the Articles of Confederation, each states guards jealously it's Sovereignty.
#2. If the War really, truly was about the utter preservation of slavery, why then is it that Lincoln himself said that he had no inclination to abolish the institution where it already exited. Why didn't the Southern States ratify the Corwin Amendment forever preserving the institution? I bet they think the Boston Tea Party was all about tea too

Typical Yankees. "Lost Cause", "slavery", "unification."
#1. Self-determination is never a "Lost Cause."
#2. If the War really, truly was about the utter preservation of slavery, why then is it that Lincoln himself said that he had no inclination to abolish the institution where it already exited. Why didn't the Southern States ratify the Corwin Amendment forever preserving the institution? I bet they think the Boston Tea Party was all about tea too
