With that said I am also aware countless Southerners who had no slaves fought for the Confederacy for the sake of defending their home from an invader, and those should be honored, but not at the expense of ignoring why the war was fought in the 1st place.

You're a disgrace.

Listen closely moron.......... YOUR opinion on why the people of the Southern states democratically elected to secede from the union is irrelevant. What you conveniently ignore is that the "War" was fought for one reason and ONE REASON alone!...... which is that Abaraham Lincoln raised an army and marched South on an invasion...... and the South raised an army as a defensive measure to repel this invasion.

ENd of story.

Secession did not START a war. INvasion did! Got it?

Idiots like you make me sick. Nevermind that Lincoln and the Republicans prepared an amendment to the COnstitution that would forever prevent the federal government from interfering with slavery in the states where it existed as a way of enticing the deep South states to rejoin the union.... Nevermind that Virginia, Tennessee, North Carolina, and Arkansas did not secede after Lincoln's election, but ONLY AFTER he demanded they supply troops for an invasion of the deep South states..... and about a thousand other conveniently ignored facts....

I read the comments on this subject here and I cringe.

The majority of you people are straight up DUMB. ANd I despise the arrogance with which you speak on topics you know nothing about.

Go Dawgs. Deo Vindice!
