The South wanted the slaves to remain exactly where they were and were willing to secede, and then launch a rebellion in order to maintain them in that position.

Lie 1: The People "rebelled".

Lie 2: "It was all about slavery."

Still lying to the newbies every chance you get, aren't you?

The people, the states, however you want to term it. They rebelled.

Lie 2: "It was all about slavery."

I believe I've said all along that by far the single most important reason for the South's rebelling was defense of their institution of slavery. I've never said it was 'all about slavery'. So that would be a lie in your court.

Still lying to the newbies every chance you get, aren't you?

Now there's a case of the pot calling the kettle black if ever there was one.
