My point is that slavery was not threatened, and the Union would continue practicing legal slavery for decades more if the South had remained.
What level of proof would be sufficient for you? If I showed you five, or ten, or 100 southern newspapers proclaiming the black republicans were a threat and that slavery was the reason for secession would you accept it then. How about direct quotes from 5, 10 or 100 rebel leaders? Would that be enough? Is there any level of evidence that would make you accept the fact that the southern states rebelled to protect slavery?
Because right now I feel as if i was able to resurrect Jefferson Davis, put Wonder Woman’s lasso of truth around him, and he told you to your face that the reason the south rebelled was because of slavery you would say its just one mans opinion.
