Yeh, for real. Never mind that South tried to end slavery prior to the war. The slavery issue in civil war studies is a red herring.

Now don’t let the facts get in the way of the rewriting of history....

"Never mind that South tried to end slavery prior to the war."

Can you supply any documentation on that? Since slavery was a total states rights issue then (prior to the 13th Amendment) who was stopping them from ending slavery? Northern states ended it on their own, and no one stopped it.

Your knowledge of history has some very serious gaps.

I would recommend you read the Cornerstone Speech by Confederate Vice President Alexander H. Stephens.

Defending slavery was all the Confederacy was about. Without slavery, there would have been no Civil War.
