Germany in both WWI and WWII were the aggressors and also on both occasions had the strongest military and economy for fighting a war and also initiated both conflicts. Whereas the Confederacy, was not the aggressor but more the victim and started as the firm underdog, for that reason it can treat its soldiers as heroes.
