By the way... I should add... I am very much for States' Rights - very very much so. I am strongly against the increasing power of the Federal government. But some things, to me, transcend arguments such as federal vs. state. To me, slavery and abortion are among them. To me, the ending of slavery and abortion are causes severe and basic enough to justify war.

the only problem with your position is that the WBTS was NOT about the end of slavery.

that was a self-serving LIE, compounded by the lincoln regime AFTER they started losing the war & it appeared that England, France & several other nations would enter the war on the southern side.

the so-called Emancipation Proclamation was INTENTIONALLY worded so that it would NOT free any slaves in US-held areas of the south AND NOT free any northern-owned slaves.

the only MAIN CAUSE of the war was the continuing lust for dixie LIBERTY!
