There's plenty of cases in the world where the losing side of the war still venerates its dead. Gallipoli commemorates both Turkish and Allied soldiers, the heads of state for France, the UK, and Germany commemorate WWI together, Japan has plaques for its soldiers who died in WWII, etc.Saelune said:And Union soldiers didnt die so their enemies could be celebrated.
We also dont have statues of Nazi soldiers. Though I worry that they would be defended these days too.
Also, the Nazis had the explicit intent of wiping out entire races of people for their "Lebensarum," and put those goals into action. For all the evils of slavery (and it is an evil, let's not deny that), it can't compare to the horrors of Nazism, at least in terms of intent. That, and while slavery was the defining factor of the Civil War, it's a mistake to think that every soldier who fought for the Confederacy was doing so just for the sake of slavery, just as much as assuming that the idea of "Southern Pride" or having a Confederate flag makes you a bigot.
