Distain for Lincoln?

It only cost us...how many hundred of thousands of lives? Many of them young poor men. How many mothers cried over their dead sons?

Why? because Lincoln didn’t believe in States Rights. And the North wanted the $$$ and the cotton

Also, the South wanted the slaves.

It’s a bit more in depth, but you’re right on the money.

Slavery was used to garner public support.
