No, it doesn't make it right, but it does make it *understandable*. Which is really my point. I was raised basically to believe that the North was the good guys and the South was the bad guys and I've since realised that I now agree with neither but sympathise with both.
I think the South's attitude toward the Civil War and the attitude in Ireland (particularly Northern Ireland) with reference to Irish independence are probably *very* similar.
