I reached the end of the Civil. War documentary. THe Confederacy lost. I knew it!

Incredibly sad.

Leaving aside the whole slavery/KKK/despicable racism at the very root of its society and economy, you have to sympathise with the South. The accents are fantastic, the names are cooler, the beards are better.

The union can go **** itself. Sherman was a **** and Grant a boring *******. Bobby Lee, on the other hand, was a proper ****ing dude.

Hurrah for Dixie! (Aside from the slavery bit)

I suppose it's like our Civil War as described by 1066 And All That, whereby the Cavaliers were wrong but romantic, while the Roundheads were right but repulsive.

Same goes for the Confederacy and the Union.

Also, the Outlaw Jesse Wales was Confederate, so that'll do for me.
