It's wasn't me but your Confederate Vance who said that the rebellion was of the politicians and not the people.
There was large groups of southerners who had no desire for separation. This sentiment was particularly strong in places like Northern Alabama, East Tennessee and Western NC, but it existed everywhere. When people like Sherman showed the rest of the population the price that would have to be paid for a slaveowners' state, many of them quit the fight also.
Chaos was inevitable when you split one people into two. We were one people with only an interest in slavery and the desire for power by a few slaveowners separating us.
"It's wasn't me but your Confederate Vance who said that the rebellion was of the politicians and not the people."
You can cherry pick quotes to justify or rationalize ANY position on the war. "It was about slavery." "It was about state's rights." "It was about neither." Take your pick. they're all out there some where.
"There was large groups of southerners who had no desire for separation."
There were large groups of northerners who said "let them go." So?
"When people like Sherman showed the rest of the population the price that would have to be paid for a slaveowners' state, many of them quit the fight also."
Oh, I thought Linclon fought the war to bring the south back into the union. OK, which one of you is lying?
"Chaos was inevitable when you split one people into two."
Oh, really? Go tell that to the Brits and their former subjects in Candada. We all remember the great Canadaian Revolution, don't we.
"We were one people with only an interest in slavery and the desire for power by a few slaveowners separating us."
Yup, tarrifs, unfair legislation, state's rights had nothing to do with it.
Hey, I got nothing on you, dude.
