NO ONE, on any of these threads, has ever said they would fight for slavery. What you liberals do is lie and put words in their mouths. If they say they would have fought for the South for any reason you people claim they would fight for slavery.

We’re not as stupid as liberals think we are.

But in fact, the Civil War was provoked, started and formally declared by the Confederacy against the United States for one reason, and one reason only: to preserve, protect, defend and advance the Slave Power.

Unlike all post-war defenders of the Confederacy, all the ante-bellum (pre-war) slavers knew exactly why they declared secession, provoked, started and even formally declared war.
They weren't bashful or shy about it, they had no concerns -- zero, zip, nada -- for "political correctness" or anything else.
They declared openly: they were intent on protecting slavery, period.

Certainly, after the war, after defeat was certain, then all the pro-Confederate propagandists went back and tried to rewrite the history, to make it look like something -- anything -- other than slavery, and anything other than their own fault.
