A desire to be left alone sounds noble and harmless, but we must remember that all criminals merely want to be left alone to satisfy their evil inclinations.
What would the CSA jave done if left alone? They would have made the chains of slavery more stronger while forging new chains exploiting the mass of ignorant and stupid poor whites who rallied to the CSA in the name of "southern solidarity".

you and your cohorts, that are the clueLESS & brainwashed remainder of the "DAMNyankee coven of lunatics, fools, bigots, nitwits & at least ONE outright racist", just don't/can't accept that your "clay-footed, secular saint: abe, the UNjust" was fighting for raw power, $$$$$$$$ & his EGO-mania. (the TYRANT would have happily killed EVERYBODY in the country,for more POLITICAL POWER & his EGO!)
our dixie ancestors wanted PRECISELY the same thing that their grandfathers of 1776 wanted: FREEDOM & LIBERTY. despite what you've been "snowed with", the war was ONLY about FREEDOM for DIXIE (if you were a southerner) and about "preserving the union of the UNWILLING" (if you were a yank).
a century & a half of SELF-righteous LIES & DAMNyankee apologist NONSENSE do NOT change those simple FACTS!
free dixie,sw
I really doubt it. And remember, Lincoln could have cared less about the slaves, so that is not even an issue in this discussion.
