Total revisionist BS. Read the Confederates reason for secession. Study the 30 year period before secession and see what issue drove division between the states.
Slavery was the only reason the Confederates had.
Abe Lincoln glorified the war as about preserving “The Union” as if “The Union” was some religious deity.
Religious deity? I doubt that. But it was Lincoln's sworn duty as President of the United States to preserve the Union and millions of people agreed with him, and were willing to fight and die to do so.
Lincoln’s sworn duty was to uphold The Constitution, not to ‘preserve the union’
The Constitution ALLOWS for States to secede
It does not say you must go to war to stop them
The war was about states’ rights, and slavery was the vehicle involved. That is all I am saying, it could have easily been some other reason the states wanted to secede, but they do have that right.
Sherman’s march to the sea happened when Hood moved his forces away from Sherman, refusing to defend Georgia against him.
Hood was not about defending southern homes.
That is right, after Hood burned Atlanta, he refused to defend Georgia, and that opened up Georgia for Shermans march to Savanah and then through Sough Carolina.
Instead he took his army north to Tennesee where it was destroyed by Virginian US Army General Thomas.
