You really bought into the Lost Cause BS hook, line and sinker. I’d urge you to study some economics and US History not the neo confederate lies.
You really bought into the PC Revisionist lie hook, line and sinker. I urge YOU to study some economics and US history, not PC Revisionist lies. Read for example the Corwin Amendment. Read Lincoln's inaugural address. Read any of a number of editorials in Northern, Southern and English Newspapers at the time about what the real motivations for secession and war really were. Read Charles Beard. Read Charles Adams' When in the Course of Human Events, etc etc
