It really was a War of Northern Aggression...European news papers understood that and wrote about the unfair tariffs...until the North became so embarrassed 'they' began to look for a "cause"....TAADAA..slavery; slavery was always unpopular and disliked by most Americans.....Lincoln needed something to hold his Union and people together so it became the war against slavery.

I understand this is not the Politically Correct explanation....but it is a fact.

Slavery was what murdered the South.

I’m a Southerner, but I’m glad slavery in the South is over. It was wrong.

Come on they fought to keep slavery going. Among other things they also thought were right. Just be up front about it. They may have fought for states rights but they picked a loser issue to do it over.

In States’ Right>>>>, no such a thing any where in the constitution or natural law. rights are people things. powers are allowed to the states and the feds as the people see fit to allow those powers to help us self govern. and we can change that anytime we want. next time we have to change that will be much more interesting that the last ime.

This Yankee applauds you.

I am in southern DE, where the South starts. This was a politically contested area in the Civil War. In Georgetown, we have men buried in the local cemetery that fought for both sides.

DE did not end slavery until December, 1865, the last state to do so. So, it was not just the Southern states that had slaves.

A civil war killing 600,000 men out of a population of 31.4 million (1860) should not have been necessary to settle the slavery question.

I am a Southerner . . . I believe . . . [t]hat the government should be the Servant, not the Master of the people.

Hmm. There's a certain amount of irony in this.

I am an American by birth, a Southerner by the Grace of God, and, for a time, a resident of New Jersey by act of Congress.

I have mostly forgiven the Congress.
