“That is incorrect. Freeing slaves had nothing to do with the reason for that war. “

You can argue that point with Wikipedia. Here’s how they start their article on the American Civil War.

Wikipedia is known left wing propaganda.

On any issue, they will publish the liberal spew rather than the truth.
