Disagree wholeheartedly. The Union in particular brought the power of industrialization to the battlefield for the first time in the history of warfare. The Civil War introduced rapid-fire weaponry (the Gatling gun), modern supply chain logistics, submarine & aerial warfare, long distance communication & mass battlefield carnage to the world.

Ahh, you're more moral than the people who actually fought & died. Brave soul.

Do you realize that the District of Columbia was a slave city until 1862?
Or that the Union was a slave nation when the Confederacy surrendered, & remained a slave nation until 1866?
Or that the Emancipation Proclamation was worded carefully so that slaves in parts of the Confederacy that the Union controlled remained slaves?
Maybe you don't. In fact, I'm sure you don't.

The Civil War is actually considered the harbinger of modern warfare. The Great War was like the Civil War, but worse.

The fights that broke out at that Reunion were dubbed The Battle of the Walking Sticks.

The Union didn't consider the Confederates traitors. Why do you?

Does "Wolf's Vulva" replace "Two Dogs Fucking" in the pantheon of sixth grade playground jokes?

"Introduced."
The Civil War resembled the Great War a lot more than it did the American or French Revolutions.
