I could not feel sorry for Confederates

A bunch of treasonous traitors escaped into Mexico thinking they should be welcomed with open arms. I am tired of people attempted to romanticize the Confederate Army and that traitor flag that people still want to fly. The Confederate Colonel didn't even have enough decency to toast to the United States of America because they did not believe in United States of America, they believed in the Confederacy, they believe in slave labor, believe in the theory inferiority of other races but then they want to run to Mexico, what a pathetic story, I guess it was to much to ask to find out what happened to blue boy, and his girlfriend. History a bunch of lies that we agree to.

I have to agree that although I can enjoy films with confederacy sympathies, the confederate themselves are very hard to sympathize to. I guess white America's sympathies for the confederate lasted as long as it did because of the living generation. When they died, it was easier to take off the romantic tinted nostalgic lenses for them.

I tend to be on the romantic, brave underdog, side. Couldn't quite understand how and why they changed sides from Maximilian to Juarez.

Most of the world believed in slave labor.
