Oh, please explain how the “Civil War” was needed. Keep in mind that the war “settled” the issue as to whether or not states were indeed sovereign and whether we would have an all powerful central government...which has given us the Obama dictatorship.

Yeah, we REALLY need that.

Because no nation founded on the principle that all men are created equal could continue to exist when the law put in place to ensure that principle was used to deny it. That glaring omission had to be corrected, even if it threatened the existence of the nation itself.

The right side won, the wrong side lost.

Your side had the better generalship and the better soldiery; the north had the better cause. And God was watching. The end.
