Oh, I wasn’t excusing their shittyness AT ALL. I was just pointing out that there’s a lot of crap in human history, so I don’t think I can call them “the worst.” That’s a shared medal.

(and it was, IIRC, the mint juleps.)

To be fair, he was saying one of the worst not the worst. I just think the CSA deserves special consideration due to context. Another argument I’d add for them in terms of an American centric position is their actions resulted in the war that got the most Americans killed out of any war and I’m not sure if this is still true but I think it still stands that more Americans were killed in the Civil War than all the others combined. We lost but a fraction of the men lost in the Civil War during the Revolution even though the revolution was a much longer conflict.
