The war was caused by secession.

The public schools pushed the slavery issue very hard, but the fight was over states rights. Some states wanted to secede from the Union. Lincoln fought them over this right.

The Confederate flag has nothing to do with racism. Dixie is a revered song of the South.

I am tired of those trying to revise history.

but the fight was over states rights.

again, read the Articles of Secession, principally those of Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, Texas, and Virginia...hint, count the number of times slavery is mentioned in each...

“Some states wanted to secede from the Union. Lincoln fought them over this right.”

Lincoln hadn’t been elected to office before the argument was raging.
