“Articles for secession for every state, Mississippi, Texas, Carolinas explicitly mention that they are fighting for slavery. Why didn’t they mention they were fighting against taxes and tariffs? Neo-Confederate revisionism is a joke.

Why do the Southern states articles of secession not reflect that they were fighting the North over tariffs and taxes? This is shown to be a big lie.

The North had over 3,000 Native Americans fighting on their side, yes, the South also had Native Americans and African Americans fighting on their side, the latter, often, could obtain freedom by doing so.
