E-peen waving is not possible as mine crusted over and fell off years ago.
Basically: Leave your idea of heritage not being properly venerated and whatnot at the door. I guess I put too much confidence in all potential readers to fully understand my analogy without getting emotional. Allow me to spell it out for you, sans drama, just the facts.

*Known predominantly for fighting to preserve the practice of slavery
*Lost the civil war
*Wound up on the wrong side of history
Let's assume that we all understand that the CSA was dissolved MORE THAN A CENTURY AGO. Let's also assume that "the glory days" MUST have existed prior to its dissolution. Assuming all of this (which is safe to do, because they are things called "facts"), the glory days were the days of slavery.
Missing the point of the Union's success and subsequent emancipation serves as a reminder that some people are just always going to miss the point.
