Which proves again that the war was never about slavery. But that won't stop the Lincoln idolators from repeating the statement.
I thought this policy was fairly well known.

He gets off on the wrong foot from the get-go in the headline in his search for accuracy. This was not a civil war, but a war between two separate nations. A civil war is a war between opposing factions fought within the same national borders.

Also can be found int he book "April 1865, The month that saved America." A great Civil War book...this is nothing new.

"I knew about this when I was just a lad..some 45 years ago..my Dad, a Southerner, explained this to me..it's not "startling" or new.."
Heck, it's one of the most memorable scenes from Gone with the Wind, which was filmed in 1939!

This is NOT new information. It has been well known for years and years.
True enough, the Civil War was not solely about slavery. But think of this way: If one subtracts the issue of slavery as the cause for the "irrepressible conflict," what ,then, forced the country to enter into its bloodiest conflict?

Get a book on General Hookers campaigns and the "campfire" girls that would follow his forces..it's where the term "hooker" came from..

Indeed, there were black regiments that fought on the side of the Confederacy. There were "uncomfortable" moments when veterans of these regiments showed up at commemorative events in the years after the war.
And, as any serious student of history knows, the Emancipation Proclamation only applied to slaves in the Southern states.

I'll second that. I'm in the middle of his second volume of the Civil War Narrative. Reads like a novel.
