All the south did was declare independence from a section of the country that had financially raped them for decades leading up to the war, then defend their homeland against those who insisted that this financial slavery was not going to end. Slavery ENDED in the United States of America the minute all of the slave holding states left the union. The war was not about ending slavery. It had already left the union. It was about keeping a subserviant section of the country in the south subserviant to it’s masters in the north.
I’m not opposed to those arguments. I’m sure someone could come up with a differing opinion that might makes sense. Perhaps not.
‘It was about keeping a subserviant section of the country in the south subserviant to it’s masters in the north.’
