>>> Sorry, friend. Wrong. Dead wrong. Not even close. It was ENTIRELY about States’ rights.
The states had overstepped their bounds on states rights by violating individual rights.
Are you suggesting that the southern states were willing to give up slave ownership?
Particularly WHICH states rights are you referring to that led them to war then?
Your ignorance is astounding.
I’m not “suggesting” that the southern states were “willing to give up slave ownership”....it’s a fact.
Look, no offense intended, but it’s not my place to write a treatise on slavery and the Civil War here in a post on FR. I will respectfully suggest you forget the drivel you were fed in public school and actually research it.
Slavery was dying in the South; that is a fact. The war was fought over States’ right, end of story. Here in the South, the average Southerner knows FAR more about the war than the average northerner....for many reasons. Long memories down here. They don’t call it “The War of Northern Oppression” for nothing.
how do you explain my state joining the confederacy when my state never had slavery when we joined plus the north did
if slavery was an issue and the main reason for the war then my state did not have slavery and yet still joined, my state is old florida.
