BBC: Revisiting the South

How the South belatedly won America's civil war?
Well, part of this seems right. I live in the Bronx where the US Capitol dome was forged and erected for a little over $1 million during the Civil War, Lincoln, not the first Republican, thought it a symbolic "unifier". Senator Hillary Clinton, from Chicago, now New York State Senator was present, along with one other woman at the Watergate hearings, about executive privilege, and the withholding of information. I for one think claiming the "South won" inconsistent with the devastation it suffered then and the devastation it is currently experiencing. I'm not sure why people keep bringing up New York's senator as a "whipping girl".
