Are you high? The ONLY reason that there was a civil war was because the slave states refused to recognize blacks as human beings. They wanted their free labor and if subjugating a human soul to degradation and calling them ‘property’ instead of free humans then thats what they were going to do. Remember...it was Democrats that were advocating slavery then. Relax man. No one is attacking you. You shouldnt feel so threatened. I like Alabama and I like my guns. And I hate BLM. And so does every black person I know.
Using slavery alone as the cause of the Civil War is lazy; it was symptomatic of the problem facing the primarily rural South against a more heavily populated, more industrialized North. Most Southerners couldn’t afford slaves, and the treatment of blacks in the North before, during, and after the Civil War doesn’t support the claim of being saviors. Two slave states fought for the Union, and their slaves were NOT freed by the Emancipation Proclamation.
Regional differences were the root of the problem, even as far back as the War of 1812 (in which New England states threatened to secede as their trade was threatened); to many Southerners, the DC government had simply become the new Redcoats.
Lincoln promised an amendment to guarantee slavery in the southern states before the war. He didn’t free the slaves until several years into the civil war. And he wanted to ship all blacks back to Africa after the war. The enlisted may have done so over slavery but the politicians did not start a war over it. Control and tariffs were far bigger concerns.
you should know the reason for the CW was taxes and tariffs. Citing slavery is just lazy,
The reason there was a civil was was that the yankees were determined not to let the only part of the US that produced both internal revenue (tariff money) and foreign exchange ( sale of cotton and tobacco to foreign states for hard currency) escape from their grip. Slavery was the phony moral rationale for a cohort of greedy hypocrites such as Seward or tariff dependent mental cases like Thaddeus Stevens. Northerners despised blacks and the overwhelming majority were determined that they would ne kept out of the north. Recognize the ‘humanity of the slaves’ that is complete and utter shit. Yankee soldiers in the mass detested and loathed blacks, used them for unpaid labor and free sex and not infrequently as target practice. People in the South didn’t love negroes but they consider them to be the equivalent of space aliens. Yankees did.The determination of the Confederate government to make itself a free trade area meant the northern capitalists would face both the loss of revenue vital to their schemes of finance capitalism (such as floating railway bond issues) and have masses of cheaper and generally better consumer goods available to anyone who wanted to enter the Confederacy and then smuggle them back to yankee land. Slavery and union were just the typical fake moralizing and patrioteering clamor to sell the rubes on invading and fighting a war with a neighboring peaceful nation. What ever happened with the institution of slavery was not worth the death and destruction the yankee created war brought. The War Between the States did set the pattern for most future American adventures in that the opponent was demonizes nd a lying moralizing rationale was fabricated to push the desired government narrative. You may not like BLM but those with your mentality have no place in the South. Go back to some yankee utopia. Hang pictures of your fake yankee saints Lincoln and Sherman on your walls, burn incense before Lincoln , watch the lying PBS Ken Burns propaganda video about the war on your tv and feel oh so virtuous and wonderful that your ancestors burned, plundered and raped (yeas a lot of that) and not infrequently murdered their way across the South with an army full of illiterate foreign mercenaries who couldn’t speak a sentence of English.
People who hate the South and its history have no place in the Sourh.
