No, believe me Ive done plenty of research and I'm well first in the revisionist history and moral idiocy of a group of latter day Confederates who like to refer to themselves as "The Lost Cause''.

All I am trying to say is that the Root cause of what became the Civil War was at the very beginning of the founding of the country. Reading “Hamilton” has shown me that.

In reading that book I have a different view of Jefferson and Madison, while they were brilliant, they were also limited in their thinking about how they wanted this country to be. Primarily they wanted a agrarian economy, which was unrealistic.

I also found Jefferson to be petty, small minded and a terrible hypocrite as to his conflicts on slavery itself. Not to mention a terrible business man.

The fact is there is a lot of blame that can go around as to slavery, and the issues of State's Rights.
