...Peru take a far harsher view of Lori Berenson. They regard her as a dangerous radical who became closely involved with Marxist terrorists of the Tupac Amaru Revolutionary Movement (MRTA)--hiding them in her home, stockpiling their weapons, helping them plan an attack on the Peruvian Congress.

This disrespects the Union cause, equating patriotism with treason and emancipation with slavery. Had the Confederacy succeeded, would we view the result as morally neutral? Although it is tragic that so many Southern men died in the Civil War, we are glad that their Confederacy was vanquished...
