Slavery was the issue that made the war inevitable. Both sides were right, and both sides were wrong. The Federals won. Get over it.

I enjoyed the movie.

Slavery was a side issue and not even mentioned for the first two years of the invasion of the South. Lincoln was a racist who didn’t give a damn about the black man. He thought whites were superior to blacks and wanted them shipped back to Africa. The sanitizing of Lincoln is one of the greatest
hoaxes ever perpetrated on the American people. He was a tyrant who caused the deaths of a million Americans. If the South had won, he would have been hanged from the nearest tree. He was a butcher. A two-bit railroad lawyer, doing the bidding of the railroad barons who controlled his every move.

Seemingly Federalist tyrants did win, in military and economic terms. Hence the Federal Reserve that runs the country.

The war was by no means inevitable. I have no idea whatsoever why anyone would think it was, unless they were general fatalists.
