"Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery-- the greatest material interest of the world."
Thanks for posting the historical facts relating to the origins of the Civil War. America's domestic tragedy was triggered by the South's Slavery Inc's political and corporate interests, after those bums lost the election of 1860.
The bottom line is those few arch defenders of the 'lost cause' are really still sore they even lost Southern state enforced segregation, which allowed even the lowest of this backward element to somehow feel superior. These days neo-confederates are just plain losers.
