@Vladivoj The Union Army killed people, but almost all of those they killed were Confederate Soldiers who as I mention were guilty of treason. They tried to break up The United States, they fired the first shots (attacking an almost undefended Fort Sumter), and they treated their prisoners with utter barbarism (they didn't even try to feed the Union POWs ... conditions were so horrible in the Andersonville Prison that the Warden was hanged for crimes against humanity).
While the Union did kill some people, they were many magnitudes less ruthless than the Confederacy. The Union's POW camps were significantly better than Andersonville (still unpleasent, but better), and even Shermon's March to The Sea had a very VERY low civilian casualty rate. Plus the Union wasn't fighting to preserve slavery.
And make no mistake, slavery was exactly what The Confederacy was fighting to defend. The confederate constitution outright says prohibits any law to end slavery, and the second confederate flag (the stainless banner) was described by it's own designer as representing the superiority of the white race.
Flying the Confederate Flag, or even the ANV battle flag, is the same as flying a Swastika or the SS lightning bolts.
