Most of these people who are viewed as heroes ended up swearing an oath to the United States and went back to the south to help re-build it to what it is today.

Hmmm?

Swear a "verbal oath" to the US?

The Country they just tried to destroy over slavery, in fact one of those 10 confederate generals that a base is named for (that bone spurs is defending) wanted the south to be the World's first slavocracy built on the principles that the " white race is superior"( his words)

So the choices were to "swear an oath" or face treason, which at that time was probably a death sentence rather than life in prison

Hmmm, that "swearing an oath" seems to be a really attractive option right abt now?

One question:

When you make comments like the one above, why not tell both sides of the story to provide perspective & proper context?
