Any other of my fellow Americans not identify with either side in the civil war ? It seems me that most people feel more empathy to one side over the other. But to me looking back I just see sorrow in the many fucked up things done by both sides during the time period. I am glad that the states were reunified because personally i feel like the union and confederacy were both retarded in their own fucked up ways.

People will argue all day about the "principles" of the Union and the Confederacy, but in the end war is geopolitics and production capacity. It's mathematical. It was economic to be rid of slavery and the Union states economic power were far greater than Confederate states' to begin with.
