What was "morally wrong" about the South? I'm taking a leap here to say this, but if your post is reffering to slavery, as would be expected nowdays, know this. The war was not fought over slavery as many seem to believe. In fact, in a nut shell, the war was fought over states rights, and basically limiting the hold of the federal government on the union as a whole. Granted it goes beyond that somewhat, but that was what the war was really fought over at it's most basic.
It's true that some Southern states wanted to continue to have slaves, so that was part of the whole deal, but at the same time there were also many Northern states that had just as many slaves as the Southern ones did. In the end the North was just as guilty of being 'morally wrong' as the South.....
In the end, saying that the South was 'morally wrong' simply due to the existance of slavery is about as far off the mark as you can get. Thing is there are millions of people out there that have no real clue about the true reasons, etc behind the war and as a result often feel this way or that based on inaccurate and incomplete information.
Unfortunately that prevelant lack of historical knowledge nowdays leads us into the realm of an old saying...just wish I could remember exactly who said it, but regardless of the speaker it's as true as can be. The saying goes something like this. "Those that chose to forget their history are doomed to repeat it..." Saddly I see that happening with the younger generation more and more the older I get....
