@dep92 Correction: Most of the Southern soldiers didn't THINK they were fighting to preserve the slave economy but that is exactly what they were doing. Just like most Northerners would have damned you to hell if you told them you were fighting for "the darkies" but that is EXACTLY what they were doing. The overriding issue of the Civil War, indeed the first 87 years of the country, was slavery. It was, as Jefferson called it in 1820,"The Death Knell Of The Union."

Hancock was a total badass. Exceptionally brave, excellent at motivating his men, and superb at coordinating his troops and at reading the battlefield.

@stellalouise1 You would laugh, if you knew where he moved to, South Carolina! He is from Southern Pennsylvania, never had any family fight in the Civil War and does not jack shit about the battles or much of the war. He will generally quote Mosby, type about miners out in the West and look for any tiny dirt on the war about slavery. About all you will get from him.

@UnionStatesHeritage I don't understand your obsessive stalking of Southern people. If we are so vile, why do you insist on the other hand that the Union would be crippled and fate unbearable without us? This Tarheel knows that tarheelsTM is correct that NC provided the most soldiers for the Confederacy and "went the farthest and longest". Why can you not respect the courage of individuals on both sides, like the vetrans of this conflict did?

@UnionStatesHeritage u need to read up on your history! NC lost more men in the civil war than any other southern state.

@BattleReb Very well said.

Hancock the Superb! It took real guts to be a general back then. Though if I'm the aide with the banner, I might be thinking, yeah, but what about MY life? Not to mention his horse. Which in real life had the common sense to be frightened out of its wits - he switched to an aide's horse mid ride.

One Southern author...David Williams in the book "Bitterly Divided, the South's Inner Civil War", puts the number of white Southerners in the Union Army at around 500,000. So the Unionist South did in fact, win the war.
You grew up in the best country in the world, because of it.

Yep, and that's why Southerners started deserting in droves after the passage of the Twenty Slave Law. Something you won't read about in "The South Was Right".

If the South won, there would still be a Union and a Confederacy. The South would probably still be separated and enjoy the same kind of rewards we fought for from the Revolutionary War.
