I suppose then that we might as well throw out the entirety of the Reconstruction Era as well, because to hell with reconciling the nation's wounds of war, the terrible losses of life, the reunion of North and South, and that the Confederates were not all diabolical, racist monsters whose only objective was to "Protect their property." from the Northerners. It is not as though we did this again later with others who fought the United States in much larger, more violent, horrific wars and had far more evil principalities that people to this very day harp on.

Let us just bury it all to maybe make a few people feel better about themselves.
