There has been no short-shrift to the record, no omission of the facts and details, and with southern partisans contributing, no one-sided narrative.

The history of the war has been deliberately and dishonestly re framed to imply that the North Fought the war to end slavery.

The unmitigated truth is that the North fought the war to stop the Southern states from gaining independence, and was perfectly willing to leave slavery intact. That slavery was abolished at all had more to do with anger and revenge than anything else.
