I was born and live in the south, both sides of my family lived in Lower Alabama (LA) during the Civil war. Very few of my relatives served in the Civil War. The ones that did only did so when the North invaded the south. A couple worked on steam ships in Mobile. IMO your attitude sucks, we deserved what we got. The fault lied with the stubborn and stupid plantation owner's. They controled the economy and politic's at the time. The South paid 80% because at the time the demand for cotton would support heavy tax's. There were few exports from the north, there was no income tax, so tax's came from sin tax's, and tax's on international trade.
