After all, the idea that the war was about slavery was only developed by historians in the twentieth century...
the REVISIONIST HISTORIOGRAPHERS, out of the most extreme, leftist,elitist fringe of poison-ivy league academia, came up with the "slavery was all" theory in about 1965, as a COVERUP for the THOUSANDS of damnyankee atrocities committed by the bluebelly army against CIVILIANS & HELPLESS CSA POWs.
IF they could convince the populus that the WBTS was a crusade against slavery (and they KNEW it was NOT!), then the atrocities might be seen as less hideous!
