The Southern cause was never about freedom, either for blacks or whites. It was always about protecting the interests of a small, wealthy, planter aristocracy to the detriment of everyone else. That’s why WV split off from Virginia.”
Most asinine analysis possible. There was nothing that propelled the “winners” but conscripts, money and fear. The south rode for the planters? You have to be joking. You have turned true history on its head and spanked it.

Proportionally speaking, the grays had more conscripts than the blues.
