I myself am a Union man as my entire family history comes from Pennsylvania all the way from my ancestor who fought alongside General George Washington as a Captain until Valley Forge and from my ancestor who was a 2nd Lt in the 111th Pennsylvania infantry which was engaged at Gettysburg, and now where my family still resides, here in Pennsylvania. I would say I am a bit biased, but i do somewhat sympathize with the confederates. 

Slavery was bad and in the North was seen as more negative as there was more industry and less need for slaves. The confederates/rich southerners needed slavery for agricultural reasons which is partially why the war started because they depended on them for income and work.

The Union was against the secession, but they did not instigate the war. The Confederates sieged fort Sumter and what more was Lincoln to do but to go to war? If fort Sumter had not been attacked there would maybe never had been a war and the Confederacy may be around today. Though I must admit the forces in fort Sumter should have evacuated before tensions escalated. So maybe both sides were at fault?

No matter how you put it both sides were Americans and gave their lives for something. The people from the north in defense of their homes and the south in defense of theirs.

I would be neutral, it was a war between the upper classes of both nations and whoever would win was a matter of indifference.

Well, Europeans mostly go Confederates, where North Americans mostly support the Union. Seeing as a vastly higher percentage of people are European, it's fairly obvious that there will be more Confeds. However, I think the idea of Union as being the 'Good Guys' will even things out a bit.
P.S I'm British, long live the Rebellion!

As I've stated before, the politics behind a war don't matter if one is fighting for their home and family.

Thus, I must stand with Georgia, and by extension, the Confederate States of America.

Agreed, these men were willing to die for their ideals...something our generation could learn from.

Both are American so thats already a big minus but since the confederacy supports slavery i suppose that will get my vote,
