not surprisingly, the slave-OWNERS (about 5-6% of the population of BOTH north & south) were INTENSELY interested in preserving the "peculiar institution".

hardly anyone else cared a damn about either the "preservation of slavery" OR about "the plight of the slaves".

for the VAST majority of northerners the WBTS was ONLY about "preserving the union". for the great majority of southerners the war was ONLY about FREEDOM for dixie AND "getting the DAMNyankee boot off our necks".

150 years of elitist/leftist/socialist/PC/revisionist LIES does not change those simple FACTS. FACTS are FACTS!

the struggle against the DAMNyankee elites continues by other means than arms.
