When the North invaded the South during the 1860s, it was to deny the southern states the ultimate expression of their sovereignty – the ability to withdraw from a union they had voluntarily joined.

It is revisionist crap indeed! The above leads to the obvious, and damning, question: Why did they want to withdraw? The South did not want slavery ended.

Do you think the Yankee’s invaded because of slavery??

The south saw that federal government was becoming increasigly large and robust.

This country was suppose to be a loose Republic with free states.

Regardless of what your history book says why the war was started or not. The south, per their constitution was moving away from the slave trade internatioally. There was also religious pressure to begin removing slavery.

I don’t know about you- I will be in Texas when they secede and if NC gets worse. I don’t think Texas will be doing this because of one issue either
