So your family is full of great Americans, and for a period of time, fought against great Americans. Pick up a history book. Confederates are not Americans. Plain and simple.

You are really squeezing this with all you got, aren't you? Do you know Rex by any chance?

If you are not trolling, I appoligize for my harshness. They were all Americans. They are all considered US Veterans. The VA paid for the Confederate markers on their grave. Did you know that Pres Eisenhower displayed a portrait of Gen Lee in his office? Did you know that the US General commanding, in the Spanish-American War was a Confederate General? Did you know that Gen Patton was proud of his Confederate ancestors? I do not think, back in the day, you would have dared question his loyalty to his face. Did you know that Pres Theodore Roosevelt worshiped the Confederate Naval officer who was his Uncle? He was his inspiration to become Sec of the Navy. Why don't we join forces and celebrate all the men who served in the way they thought they should, politics not withstanding?

Confederates were not Americans huh? The US government even recognizes them as American veterans. Who do you think supplied all of those tombstones in Confederate cemeteries with the angled tops? You are an ignorant troll and it is pretty evident that all you know about that war is what was spit out to you verbatim in a public school out of some biased textbook by some damn high school coach that wasn't even qualified to teach the history of that war. Brainwashed.
