a lot of historians (including lib-leaning ones) used to quietly concede that the south had a stronger legal case than the north under US law as it was understood in the early-1860's. ie, the US as a voluntary confederation of states, which implies that states could also de-confederate if they so desired.

no they didn't. Nobody concedes that the states had right or authority to cede and take Federal property with them.

yes they did. 'federal property' would have been a list item in post-independence diplomatic relations, not an obstacle to the basic principle of secession.

funniest thing is thinking yanks were abolitionists with a hard-on for equality, they didn't want to live among blacks any less than people in Richmond. when federalists got news of the Proclamation in 63, 30% deserted lmao. industrialists and their European partners had a much bigger vision for the continent, they weren't going to allow nobler aristocratic brothers to threaten it.

“In Gone with the Wind, Mitchell explores some complexities in racial issues. A Yankee woman asked Scarlett for advice on whom to appoint as a nurse for her children; Scarlett suggested a "darky", much to the disgust of the Yankee woman who was seeking an Irish maid, a "Bridget".”

If by "good" you mean being inept for starting a war while being woefully underfunded, undermanned, and with no international allies or even basic recognition, then sure they were the "good" guys in the story.

Tbf(er),

No they weren't.

There was no chance GB was going to jump into a war against the U.S. for cotton when they were already receiving a large amount from India. Not to mention that slavery was WILDLY unpopular amongst the GB population. There would have been no upside to sending British troops to go die in a foreign country AND PISS OFF A MAJOR TRADING PARTNER at the same time.

France wasn't going to step foot on American soil without GB going along with them.

Then there is also the fact that neither GB nor France would dedicate troops and boats to go fight for slavery on the other side of the world when Germany was rising in power right on their doorstep.

Lol no. The entire structure of Southern society was shit top to bottom and the best thing that ever happened to the South was Sherman burning it down. And I don't think he really gave a fuck about slaves. He just hated Southerners because they were shit.

When he was the POTUS of LSU he tried to tell the backwater hillbillies, "This is a really stupid idea. You can't fight the North. Don't do this"

They refused to listen, so he had to deliver boot to ass.

Yeah. They were on the road to peacefully repatriating freed slaves to their happy homes in Africa within the next 20-30 years before the North invaded.

100 confederate soldiers were only equal to roughly 170-190 union soldiers, though, and the union's numerical advantage allowed them to throw wave after wave of canon fodder into the meat grinder and overwhelm the rebs. The union slaughter of civilians then inflated the total southern death toll, which ultimately ended up being over half that of the North, which is a shame.
