One can still go to Lee Circle and read a book on the Civil War.
One can also walk into any library and read books on the Civil War.
Or one can simply Google CSA Vice President Stephens’ Cornerstone Speech and read about why the southern states seceded from the Union.
The history still exists.
For now.
The spirit of the taliban is alive and well in America.
Let’s demolish Independence Hall, it can be read about in a book.
The reasons why they left is irrelevant. The only thing that matters is whether they had a right to leave, which the Declaration of Independence tells us they did.
The more significant issue involved in this conflict is not the South's reasons for leaving, but are instead the North's reasons for forcing them back into the Union at gunpoint.
Forcing them back in is a deliberate rebuke of the principle upon which this nation was founded. It turned a voluntary relationship into one of coercion, and in effect rather than freeing a million slaves, it simply created 25 million new ones.
The nation has worked for Washington ever since.
“One can also walk into any library and read books on the Civil War.”
And when your leftist comrades start burning and censoring books, where does one go to read about the Civil War?
An excellent article on the topic of slavery in Missouri, St Louis in particular:

Should be read by everyone on this thread.
