The South had a right to secede for any D@mned reason they please, but it was the North that prosecuted the war.
As the article states , that truth was right in the secession documents. States Rights malarkey is revisionist nonsense.
Why was the North Fighting? Were they fighting to free the slaves? Tell me why the North was fighting. Why did the North send a 35,000 man invasion force into the South? Was it to free slaves?
If you say no, then the 22 Union states were not fighting over slavery, therefore the war was not being fought over slavery.
The South (ie Democrats) were fighting because they refused to accept the results of an election. The North was fighting to preserve the Union.
We were attacked at Fort Sumter, as at Pearl Harbor.
“If you say no, then the 22 Union states were not fighting over slavery, therefore the war was not being fought over slavery.”
The North was fighting because they didn’t want to let the Southern states go.
Individual men on both sides were fighting for many reasons all their own.
But the Southern states were undeniably fighting for slavery. They said so, loud and clear.
Yes, it was the north that made you shoot at fort sumter, wasn’t it...
