Guys, take a break. Then delete all your comments and write one, and only one, that state your point in an assertive manner with the aim of improving the answer. This is getting a little like a flame war. ^_~

No, it is North vs South states. If you are genuinely interested, pick a book by either Catton or Foote. They have written some good introduction texts detailing the war.

comment Military brothels in WW2
@YannisRizos: King Louis XI of France was at the origin of French military brothels. His logic for creating them was to stop his troupes raping. But that was neither during WW2 nor was there any wide-spread coercion as far as I am aware.
