    Thanks for the reasonable answer. I still don’t understand why I get downvotes. Some kind of taboo topic?

      Well, a big problem in the modern US, and one of the reasons Shermanposting exists, is because a lot of Americans with… unpleasant views… try to push the narrative that the South “wasn’t that bad” or was “just fighting for States’ rights” or “1 DIXIE BOY = 100 YANKEES” or “Slaves actually benefited from slavery”.

      The downvoters probably assumed you were one of them playing innocent instead of a genuine newcomer to the topic.
