So the northern states won an election, and the sore losers wouldn’t accept the result. It wasn’t about tariffs and taxes. Good lord, it was all about slavery. Nothing in our history comes close to the bitterness over the slavery issue. People were killing each other over slavery. I mean, I’m not going to my neighbor’s house and slice him and his sons up with swords because of tariffs.

“Good lord, it was all about slavery.”

That is an interesting comment.

If the South was fighting for slavery, who was fighting against slavery?
