Someone writes this stuff, puts it on the Internet, and from that point, it is regarded by many as fact.

I respect the confederacy and the men who fought for it. And that includes their flag.

It doesn’t mean I have to support slavery to take that stance.

I have heard it said time and time again that the Civil War was not fought over slavery, but over states rights, but it doesn’t hold water for me.

They were fighting over their rights as states to allow slavery, which is much the same as fighting over slavery. If there had been no slavery, there would have been no civil war, at least not at that time.
