Slavery was the issue. South Carolina started it. Anything else is historic revisionism.
Those who refuse to accept these truths are either: brainless or outright liars. There is no other alternative since even the Slaver Traitors clearly stated the reasons.
All this revisionist crap concocting other reasons is transparently false to anyone with even a slight knowledge of history.
LOL -- I bellyfeel your Newthink, Brother!
Been drinking at the fountain of MiniTrue, have you?
"terms of art" in history/historiography have WELL-understood & FIXED meanings.
REVISIONIST/REVISIONISM is ONE of those "terms of art".
REVISIONIST historiography came out of the MOST extreme, south-HATING,LEFTIST/SOCIALIST (some would say COMMUNIST), lunatic fringe of northeastern "poison ivy league" academia in the mid-1960s.
southerners & most INTELLIGENT folk are NOT revisionists, but rather traditionalists, when it comes to history.
btw, MOST REVISIONISTS also HATE the USA & all that the USA stands for in the modern world.
