Was Lee all that good? He had some admirable qualities, but good? Peace treaty? For the CSA it was a war of independence (which I think was their right) though essentially it was to protect slavery (which wasn't). For the US—at least some of the unionists, it was an insurrection. I'm not sure if there was an actual declaration of war, hence no need for a peace treaty. It was also wrong to deny Southern whites the vote—as they were technically US citizens (which means that Falklanders should be able to travel freely to and fro Argentina as well as vote there, I suppose), but it's hard to grieve the short time when newly free blacks took over the state legislatures. It was complicated: something Northwinds is ignorant of or deliberately ignoring—perhaps in order to divide America's political left further. They gave us LBJ and Carter, while the North gave us Reagan, Massachusite Papa Bush, and Trump. |
