At best they were fighting for their states, certainly not their country.
And stop acting butt hurt over it, it's childish. You have about as much connection with someone who died in the civil war as you do someone who died in Rome.

You're right, the CSA never formed any kind of union after secession, and it was just single states battling it out independently with the North.
Nice edit too, I do have just as many ties to the Roman Empire which fell over 1500 years ago as I do to a direct decendent of my family who died in the Civil War with the Univeristy Greys three generations ago that my grandparents used to tell me stories about.

Well, back then your state was more important anyways. Also, they were fighting for what they perceived to be their country as much as the Rebels were during the Revolution.
