The American Civil War.
Most Confederates didn't own slaves & weren't fighting for slavery. They fought for a fundamental 19th Century American principle, "States Rights"!
When Lee surrendered to Grant, there was no recrimination by the Union against Southern Soldiers.

But, today, we're senselessly re-litigating the Civil War!
We're destroying Statues of Confederate Generals who returned to be productive American citizens after the War.
General. Lee became president of Washington College which became Washington & Lee University today!
