Trying to have a civil debate here but you have to sink to personal insults. Goodbye to you.
You don't want to debate. You want to say what you believe, and you want me to agree with it.
Trouble is, i've learned more about what happened than most people, and I no longer believe all the crap I was taught.
Corruption in our government was the main cause of the Civil War.
Once it became apparent that the government could be used as a tool to enrich corporations (The political view of government from Alexander Hamilton) then it was only a matter of time before industries realized that if they controlled government, they could get it to vote for policies that increased their wealth and business.
And that's what happened. It became a system in which corporate interests started setting government policy and creating laws because they enriched these special interests at the expense of everyone else.
And that's how we had a civil war.
