LOL! You lose the point with the very first quote.

“What did we go to war for, if not to protect our [slave] property?” - CSA senator from Virgina, Robert Hunter, 1865

Not sure if you don’t understand the use of brackets in quotes or simply don’t care, but the brackets mean that something was added to the quote. I guess some yankee “historian” had to clean up the quote to make revisionists like yourself happy.

And please, as the documentarian extraordinaire, please document for us that there are NO OTHER quotes from these fine people — at all — anywhere — that would suggest that they never gave any OTHER reasons given for their motivations. Surely you do not believe these were the only reasons — or words — they ever uttered or were recorded?

Can’t do it, can you? LOL!!!!

Silly man.

OK, then tell us. What property did the South go to war to protect if not their slaves? Quotes from the period, please.

I'm not aware of any made prior to or during the rebellion. You got any quotes from any of them?
