[DiogenesLamp]

The North didn’t go to war to free the slaves. It went to war to preserve the Union and won.

The North went to war to protect the Rice bowls of New England robber barons. An Independent South threaten New England financially, and a lot of very wealthy and powerful people would have been put out of business.

Christ the way you Rebs spin history. The South wanted to preserve an economic system based on the use of slave labor and went to war to make sure it stayed that way. And they lost. Get over it bozo.
