Well done? Maybe the cinematography. But the history is just more reduction of the war to the simplistic narrative of slavery. Yes, of course slavery was a part of every secession document, but it was so much more complicated than that. We are all dumbed down by films like this. Lincoln was not the saint it depicts.
Did you get a a load of the black woman telling us about that “every secession document” point, and also “I don’t care what anyone says it was all about slavery!”
No it wasn't. It was part of 3 of them. Four if yous stretch a bit. But the other 7 out of 11 states did not mention slavery as a motivation.
Virginia (the most important state) says they seceded because the Federal government had become tyrannical when it called for an army to subjugate the other states.
The war was not about slavery. The Corwin amendment proves that. The war was about the South trading directly with Europe without Washington DC and the Northeastern robber barons getting their cut of the deal.
You can kid yourself all you want, but the war always was about slavery no matter how many other causes were ascribed to it. It was first and foremost caused by it, fought about it and we’re still dealing with the repercussions of it.
