Like someone else said, most soliders were there for honor. Also a big reason that the confederate army fought was because they saw it as the union saying "I'm gonna tell you what to do and I don't care how it effects you" because slaves were a big part of money. You and I both know that slavery is wrong but if you take out that part, because slavery was accepted back then, it's pretty understandable that they'd be upset. Also the union wasn't fighting because it was morally right, they fought because the north, for the most part, didn't need slaves. Though I can say that I find slavery as disgusting as the next person, if you look at things from their perspective you may learn a little. People back then thought differently than now. The best thing to do is to learn from our mistakes, move on, and do the right thing. Though if you do find a confederate flag somewhere, it's safe to say that the owner is probably racist.
