Civil War Rifles

About American civil war ? why I support the South (Confederate forces) against federals forces ! Why I feel they was the right side in this war although they defeated !
1st : I hate all wars . it’s just must dirty human things ever. Especially the civil war cuz that means same nation (ppl) kills each other . so I feel sorry about American civil war also about my country (Iraq) I wish peace 4 everyone. In all our earth.
2nd : I watch now program about American Civil war . real movie . do u believe that ! it’s scary war in this time cuz that was very close between soldiers . it’s very harmful . painful. To all these soldiers also their familes and in the end they almost all dead !!! I see now real movies & real pics in the field . just guns. Wounded. Blood. And dead ppl. But why always I support the south side of America (Confederate forces) in this struggle although they was defeated ! is that means sometimes the win besides the wrong side not to the right side !
What u think about this war ?
Thank you http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_Ci…

The American Civil War (1861–1865), also known as the War Between the States and several other names, was a civil war in the United States of America. Eleven Southern slave states declared their secession from the U.S. and formed the Confederate States of America (the Confederacy). Led by Jefferson Davis, they fought against the U.S. federal government (the “Union”), which was supported by all the free states and the five border slave states.
In the presidential election of 1860, the Republican Party, led by Abraham Lincoln, had campaigned against the expansion of slavery beyond the states in which it already existed. The Republican victory in that election resulted in seven Southern states declaring their secession from the Union even before Lincoln took office on March 4, 1861. Both the outgoing and incoming U.S. administrations rejected secession, regarding it as rebellion.
