“The Civil War did not start over slavery.”

Ho, boy. I’ll just warn you that many here have accepted into their hearts the gospel of rewritten leftard history on this issue, and fully believe that the war was about slavery, only slavery, and nothing but slavery.

Maybe not, but it finished over slavery.

It even finished slavery.

The hell it didn’t. The South had no intention of ending and went to war to preserve it.
