You know, speaking of the CSA, I do not get why it’s romanticized at all. Okay, take away your horror of the fact that it existed to protected slavery. That’s bad as is but also consider the fact that there were repeatedly food shortages in the CSA. As well as supplies for their soldiers. In fact, from what I recall when Buford’s cavalry encountered Heth’s infantry outside Gettysburg, Heth’s guys were looking for shoes. The CSA was a modern version of feudalism when poor men were suckered into fighting to protect extremely wealthy landowners wanting to own slaves. It’s too bad that poor, white southerners never found out they were being used because the war never would have happened if that was the case.
