“It was about slavery, period”. General James Longstreet, CSA. Well, the abolitionist movement certainly was..........
Get real. Even politically correct historians are beginning to admit that 'slavery was the cause for the war' is an oversimplification and has been the PC party line to appease the blacks.
Besides, everybody knows that Longstreet was bitter following the war. He was the only former Confederate officer to join the Republican Party during Reconstruction.

Imagine that. Longstreet speaking was the spokesman for Lincoln and the North.
Who knew?
