“As a Confederate supporter I can understand how you could see slavery as the only high moral purpose worth fighting over. But you would be wrong. There were others.”

I readily acknowledged in my post 47 that there could be other reasons the North fought to destroy the South.

Here's what I wrote: “Of course, if the North was fighting because it was in the North's economic and political best self-interest, then, arguably, that was a high moral cause worth killing 600,000 people.”

You ignored the U.S. fighting the war that the South started as one of your reasons. Why?
