Confederation of American-States wrote:well like I said, if What had Happened to my Ancestor's Family Happened to mine and id try to make sure the Next Generation would be Hesitant to serve the Conquering Enemy's Military.
also the Confederate Veterans didn't know what was coming, if they had any Clue of what the Puppet Masters of the Union Had instore for America (they Play Long Games) they probably wouldn't of been so willing to Reintegrate or Swear Oaths of Allegiance. I admit that maybe when I Try to place my self in their Position in 1865 of what I would of Done I Let my Knowledge of what Happened to influence my thoughts on the matter.
but speaking form my current point of View on things, if a Hot Civil war broke out In America again and the Establishment Was Winning id View Death as a Better Alternative to Surrendering and facing the 3 R's of Defeat "Reconstructing" "Reintegration" and "Reconciliation" that would occur now.
as the South eventually "given" its Rights back and the Confederate Veterans where "allowed" to Live their Lives and Keep their Arms and they where "Respected" by society,
today during "Reconstructing" the People of the Secessionist states would be Disarmed, Supporters of the Secessionists would be sent to "Reeducation Camps" and the Freedom Fighters/Soldiers would at best be Executed without Trial, at worst Locked in a Gulag for the Rest of their Life, while all Assets and Private wealth would be Looted and their would be Mass Rape Pillaging and Burning of the Occupied area by Government Goons, "Reintegration" would Likely involve Carpet Baggers form California or New York And other Regime strongholds moving in and Settling the Ruins repopulating the State while Impoverishing the Locals their would be a even more Totalitarian Police state established and the "Reconciliation" would be Brainwashing the Children of the Secessionists into hating their parents and would Demonize the Region for Years to come. although this time their would be no Monuments to the fallen, the Flag of the Secessionist states would be banned and the Children of the Locals would be used as Cannon Fodder, not to mention the further societal Degeneration that would happen to a point that 150 Years later Descendants of the Secessionists would be looking back at what happened with the same feelings many of us have.

The sheer irony of you complaining about the establishment winning when it was the incumbent party (Democrats) and the southern aristocracy which started the war. The “establishment” lost the Civil War.

As for your modern war hypothesis, the idea of a unified New York versus a unified Georgia type war is never going to happen again. Southern and Northern cities alike overwhelmingly vote Democratic and Southern and Northern rural areas overwhelmingly vote Republican. The idea of a regional civil war is dead, it’d be urban versus rural.
