Why do people still embrace the confederacy?
To southern people (me included) it is a very important part of your heritage. The Confederates stood up for what they believed in and even though they lost the war they fought courageously for their way of life. I agree. Many Southerners have ancestors who died in the war. They want to remember the sacrifices of their family but that does not mean they continue to support the same philosophy of their ancestors. As a southerner ,whose ancestors were in the CSA, I can say those people who do still do support their ancestors philosophy (of slavery) are dead wrong.

That cotton was America's biggest export, so the institution of slavery was beneficial. That slaves were simple, happy folk, content with their lot. That the slaves were much better-off in America than they would have been in Africa. That slavery was a perfect God-given arrangement of master and man. They called it a states rights issue. They argued that slaves were property or animals, not people, and were thus not entitled to rights. The best "scientists" of that day considered people with dark skin to be inferior. The southerners said slavery was necessary to help the economy. They convinced themselves that they were doing people from Africa a favor. They argued that slavery was a time-honored tradition and that even Africans sold other Africans into slavery.
