Oooo, boy, you're lucky you apologized just in time. I was about to read you the "FR Format Riot Act".
BTW, I'm a born and bread 'yankee', and I still say the North was about as two-faced as it could get in the Civil War fiasco. An Air Force friend of mine from Arkansas taught me a lot about the slavery issue. He had relatives from the North who had slaves before, during and after the Civil War happened.
Something tells me then that this war was fought not about slavery, but over other issues. Can you say "the industrial rich war"? I knew you could.
