(NOTE TO ALL: N-S himself ADMITTED that slavery was NOT the cause of the war on another thread.he stated that the WBTS was to "preserve the Union".))

Typcial double-talk.

The South divided the nation over slavery, the North went to war initially to preserve the Union.

"The South divided the nation over slavery, the North went to war initially to preserve the Union."

And King George went to war with the States for the SAME REASON.

Does preservation of a union make a war Constitutional? Or even moral?
