The overwhelming majority of antebellum Southerners did not own slaves. The Southerners that did did not fight on the fight on the front. The people whose deaths you celebrate were victims of propaganda and conscription.
They probably should have just surrendered to the North if they didn't want to fight for the rights of rich white dudes to own slaves.
Didn't they use conscription?
Had to look it up cuz I wasn't sure, but that last bit is extremely relevant.
Plenty of conscripts surrendered. Plenty of people evaded conscription. Just look at Appalachia, where slave power was weak.
See: victims of propaganda.
