Then we certainly agree. My Great-Grandmother used to tell me that her Grandad, (my Confederate Ancestor) used to say that the war came down to a simple fact: People in the North not minding their own business. :) In other words, Southern men were fighting for the right to live their lives without another section of the country dictating to them. A basic reason for going to war.

Yep, and the Northern soldiers thinking "You can't just up and leave the Union."
