"...now comes up the question of what we southern soldiers fought for...the south did not fight for the preservation or extension of slavery...and so what we struggle for and that was for states rights".

And the particular states right that they fought for was the right to enslave people. We know this because they people who seceded told us this. And in their constitution they explicitly forbid states from banning slavery.

Agree
A great many of those young boys were dirt poor …….no doubt a lot of them not unlike the ‘Boston Tea folks’ who resented being told what to do and think.
Why else would they fight for slaves they never owned or would own.
I firmly believe it was ‘states rights’…..
Thank you for this piece of history, I look forward to watching/listening.

I have many ancestors and other relatives who fought in the ‘late unpleasantness’. As far as I can tell, all those who died died defending their homeland.

Great Post- Thank You.
History does repeat itself.
Will America recover? It’s up to us :
2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, which are called by my name, shall humble themselves, and pray, and seek my face, and turn from their wicked ways; then will I hear from heaven, and will forgive their sin, and will heal their land.

I spent time in a section of the Appalachians that seceded from the Confederacy immediately after the Confederacy was formed. Thy area was called Mayland (not Maryland).
There was no slavery in this area, and they didn’t want to defend such.
Both the North and the South ruthlessly attacked the people in this area. I’ve been to the caves (really rock formations) that the families hid in to avoid lynchings and mass murder.
