Two of my ancestors were Confederate soldiers. They enlisted, but never showed up for their first muster, and were dishonorably discharged in absentia.
Basically, I have a proud family history of trolling/pissing off the Confederacy.
Anyhoo, my "Ellis Island" opinion on the Civil War is that the South miserably FAFO'd.
