“Wrong war, senator.”

Yeah, this is the Civil War where the South is right and the North is wrong.

The South was right the first time because it was not about slavery, but the States Rights to secession.

The war was three years in before Lincoln wrote the emancipation proclamation - and this only to weaken the South by promising freedom to slaves who would join the North.

I’m not saying slavery was right. But that was not the reason for the civil war. There was monetary issues as well. The south was doing quite well in industry, the north, already full of liberals - just couldn’t stand that.
