Are we willing to pay that price to rescue our nation from
tyranny?

And today we are told that restitution is owed for slavery. That debt has been paid.

If the South had not seceded, slavery probably would have continued for at least several more decades...so the Southern soldiers also contributed to the end of slavery, even if unwittingly. If the North had conquered the South quickly, Lincoln would not have issued the Emancipation Proclamation.
