Moonman62: "The Civil War was about preservation of the Union and nothing else."

Complete rubbish.
No Confederate during the war was confused in the least about the fact that slavery itself was on the line.
Just as CSA Gen. Morgan said in 1862:

"...any man who pretends to believe that this is not a war for the emancipation of the blacks, and that the whole course of the Yankee government has not only been directed to the abolition of slavery, but even to a stirring up of servile insurrections, is either a fool or a liar."

So which are you, a fool or a liar?
