Regardless the bad history many bluebellies were taught, the war was not fought, by the Confederate fighters, to keep slavery. Slavery was instituted by the Brits and wealthy land barrons, many from the north, not by the poor guys that were fighting and dying for Southern Freedom. Unlike the Union, the Confederate soldiers were volunteers. The Union started the war to force the South to pay higher oppressive taxes than King George had imposed on the Colonies.LOL Well for one, the south fired the first shot.
Two, secession happened before there were any taxes on the South.
Three, the Declarations of Secession stated that slavery was the reason for secession.
You guys live in bizarro world.
First shots not necessarily cannon or rifle.
Its obviously very hard for you to put aside your skewed assumptions and do more than pretend to read history.
Have a good evening my FRiend.
