The "south" was the fiefdom of the French, and then it was ours.

All of Vietnam was a fiefdom of the French. That was before the war we are discussing. The South had a government. It was influenced by the US but it wasn't a US colony or fiefdom. It was corrupt but no more so then many other governments. It was abusive but probably less so then the North.
