I know the spiel about the Civil War being about "States Rights". Yes, that was an issue.....but please don't get me wrong....the war was really about....
Slavery
I don't think that's just the victors re-writing history....it simply was the main reason that all those millions of people fought a war to the death.
I know it's more complicated than that....lots more complicated. Yes I have read the arguments and cases that it was not about slavery....I just don't see them as anywhere near right, nor particularly truthful to the passions of the times.
On that we can agree to disagree.
The one we're in is much more complex......yet it will have a central reason for it......once again States Rights may be a part of it.....but that won't be it.
A Canadian look at The War of Northern Agression.
Surprisingly lucid.
