So do you wish that the British had defeated the American colonials in the Revolution? The British announced two emancipation declarations during the war. Slavery in America would have ended 90 years earlier.

Nice try, but I don’t accept your diversion regarding the Revolutionary War.

Please explain to me how ANYTHING that was done during the Revolutionary War affects the reason why the South seceded and started the Civil War.

The question in front of us is, why did the South start the War that killed more Americans than any other war, and the answer is slavery.

You know, the North didn’t fight the war to end slavery, it fought it to maintain the Union. It was the South that fought it for slavery. My only point is, don’t try to dress up the reasons for the South seceding with State’s Rights, or self-determination, or any other rubbish. Just show some testicular fortitude, and man up and admit the South (not the North) fought due to slavery.
