But when the words of the confederate leaders make it clear that slavery was the most important reason for rebellion by an overwhelming margin then how can you say that the victors are rewriting history? Isn't it more a case of southern revisionism than Northern?
But when the words of the confederate leaders make it clear that slavery was the most important reason for rebellion by an overwhelming margin IMO, it wasn't the fact of slavery, per se. It was the fact that, with slavery, the south could produce with much less overhead and undercut the north.
Have you EVER seen a history where the lessons were not slanted by the winners side.
It may have been about slavery, in the main, for the south, I believe that the north had many more reasons than JUST slavery.
