Not true.
Well if that's not true, then how was their continuing to utilize slavery as they did before in the Union, any justification for war?
Of course you will say "it wasn't", but I'm really addressing the people out there who might be reading this that claim that "slavery" is the cause of the war.
No, Slavery was not the cause of the war. I know that, and you know that, but the vast majority of people believe that it was.
