I suspect that if you could find enough takers, you'd be willing to start up that horrible war all over again.
It was the Northern federal government that started the war. I wished they would've been more patient and worked it out otherwise. If people are saying a government is being too overbearing and unresponsive it should listen or let the people go independently.

Not revisionist at all. The South felt completely picked on and just wanted independence and certainly would've preferred to not have to go to war they knew would be hard to win.

Well, the South brought it on itself. The South felt holding on to slavery was more important than anything else. It wanted secession so badly because it wanted to keep slavery. The South felt picked on because it felt owning people was more important that being part of the USA.
