Being from the South, I didn't realize I had triggers about the Civil War, until some complete idiot I talked to on GaG insisted that we lost the war.
FIRST you don't EVER use the words 'Civil War.' The appropriate term is 'Acts of Northern Aggression.' The U. S. never officially declared war on a country called the 'Confederate States of America.' Further, the historical events around Robert E Lee's "surrender" are dramatically overemphasized by the Feds.
In reality, the "surrender" was written by a Native who wasn't a U. S. citizen that documented the act of two men, Grant and Lee, to agree to stop fighting in Northern Virginia and that Lee would return all the Federal ammunition we had stolen, because it's embarrassing to almighty America to admit that they're consistently outsmarted by a bunch of farmboys. If anyone won, it was us, because we retained State's rights, and sharecropping became even more lucrative than slavery.
SECOND do not call me a 'backwoods guy' like this racist idiot on this website who antagonizes white people for fun. He says "I know you backwoods guys think history & education isn't a thing your delusional minds but in the real world it is." Just because we enjoy breathing fresh air in the South, doesn't mean we don't have amazing educational systems here. Maybe you've heard of Duke, UNC, UVA, Tech? That being said, yes I can out-survive you in the wilderness but also in the boardroom.
