Well, in the American Civil war the South was fighting for freedom, yet we see them as the "bad guys", and during the American Revolution we were fighting for freedom, yet seen in the history books as the "good guys", it's just a matter of history being written by the victor, most wars have equally just causes (ancient ones anyways) yet we almost always see the victors as the "good guys". It's more or less the same story here.
