K.  You seemed to be 'biased' against the United States of America.  Or am I missing something?  The leaders of the rebellion broke their sacred compact with the USA.  The wealthy leaders convinced the poor whites to take up their cause, to maintain an outdated and in-efficient (not to mention inhumane) economic system.  What part of the rebellion do you not understand?  And you call me PC?  Read some history K.  Some real history, from the people who were there.   There is NO honor in rebelling against your own people for the glory of a few wealthy plutocrats, whether they be planters or hotel owners.  There is no honor in the confederacy.
