Thank you. The idea that the Civil War was primarilyabout anything other than slavery is just ridiculous. The South hated the North and Lincoln because they knew he and his party threatened their racial mastery.

Though it was not a part of Lincoln's original war aims, it later became the war aim for Lincoln and a moral crusade, which it always should have been.

Zack, I'm sorry, but your sentiment flies directly in the face of what Lincoln and the entire northern controlled Congress said in 1861. In fact, they were willing to guarrantee slavery FOREVER if the South would stay in the Union. Please see my post # 236 to get the facts. The Joint Resolution of War even said specifically that the war had nothing to do with slavery. Lincoln even specifically said in his Inaugural speech that there would be no war as long as the states collected the tarriffs.

Your opinions may make you feel better, but they have no basis in documented history, according to your own heros. Or maybe you can tell us why Lincoln and the entire northern Congress LIED in 1861?????

The War Between The States was not about Slavery or tarrifs. It was about the right of sovereign states to succeed from the compact that is/was the US Constitution
