Many folks, including a few Alaskans, are way too distant from the history of the Civil War era. Critical thinking is missing in their arguments. Principles change over time as events come and go. The majority of Confederate soldiers were not slave owners and they did not support the slave trade or any part of the business. There were good economic reasons for their not supporting slavery. The majority of Union soldiers were called to duty. And, like good Americans, they paid the price that our country asked.
