i'm sure that method worked really well for the slaves
Whatever you say, dad.
It was a CIVIL war. Both sides killed Americans if you consider that all of the combatants were Americans.
James, I can't quite see why you're raging. I understand that you are totally Cal. That's why you keep alluding to a different war. You don't have any connection to the civil war. OK, which side was CA on? That's what I thought.
The African Americans in my area celebrate June Teenth. I't was almost a year after the slave workers were freed that Texas authorities got around to telling them about it.

Well, maybe because the states in the South decided to not participate in Decoration Day (as it was called in the day) because it was created by the North. That is at least how I think it is. The North had not designed it for just their fallen soldiers but for every soldier fallen in the civil war IMHO, but there survived a staunch Confederate desire to not do it on the same day that it was observed by their "enemies" or those who had defeated their Confederate States.
But that is just an assumption. I think Memorial day should be seen (and I think is seen by a lot of Americans) as the day when the US remembers all fallen Americans in war, including the confederate American fatalities.
Mock the week quote: "I don't understand why people complain about Kim Jung Un testing nuclear weapons, the more he tests the fewer he will have left".
Anyone can celebrate any holiday they want. If you don't like it, don't celebrate. It isn't like the body count from the regular Memorial Day is any lower. What is this, celebrating deaths you like and not celebrating deaths you didn't?
There is nothing demonstrably true that religion can provide the world that cannot be achieved more rationally through entirely secular means.

The Union soldiers were Americans.
The Southern soldiers were Confederates who were fighting for the South's right to keep black people as slaves.
The South lost and slavery was abolished.
So the Union troops were fighting to end slavery? I don't think so.

Think whatever you want to think, it won't change history.
Before the Civil War, the South had slavery, after the Civil War slavery was gone.
