I’ll take a guess here: you went to public school and you took that line from your lib teacher and didn’t have the braincell to analyze the root cause of the CW.
Yep. My lib teacher.
I never said the root cause was slavery did I?
All the South had to do was free their slaves, and they would have won. States would be sovereign, and we would have a much less tyrannical government. But instead of doing the right thing, they didn’t.
Slavery was a major factor whether you like it or not.
