Except we did NOT fight a Civil War because of slavery, that is an intended lie
Shhhh, don't tell the rebel leadership then because they were all under the misconception that they seceded to protect their institution of slavery.
Did the issue of slavery have anything at all to do with the Civil War?
“Our new Government is founded upon exactly the opposite ideas; its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery, subordination to the superior race, is his natural and normal condition.” Alexander Stephens
Hmmm... Read the Mississippi declaration of secession, I actually found their declaration quite deliberately said that they needed to defend their institution of slavery. Slavery was the issue, not neccessarily a moral issue, per se, but the fact was that the Southern states were dependent on it for some benefits economically, and yes, a number of states in addition to Mississippi seceded and wrote in the declaration of secession that they didn’t want their institution of slavery taken away.
