Propaganda. Slavery was legal in the Union, and remained legal in the Northern states until 8 months after the war was over.

Lincoln urged the passage of the Corwin amendment which would have guaranteed slavery indefinitely.

Those who believe the war was about slavery have been successfully fooled by the propaganda apparatus of the DC rulers.

The war was about money that would be lost to the powerful industrialists of the North if the South seceded.

It was about nothing other than that threatened loss of money to the crony capitalists of that era.

Pure propaganda drivel.

The war was about slavery, and only slavery. The South knew it.

That’s why the Confederates put not one, not two, but THREE protections FOR slavery in their slimy anti-human constitution.

But keep lying to yourself.
