Christ the way you Rebs spin history. The South wanted to preserve an economic system based on the use of slave labor and went to war to make sure it stayed that way. And they lost. Get over it bozo.
Nope. That's a lie. The North went to war with the South because an Independent South would have destroyed the Northern Economy. Lincoln was primarily backed by big monied donors from New York. He launched that war to protect their money stream.
It was the Union that wanted to preserve the monetary system based on slavery. They were completely tolerant of slavery so long as they reaped the profits from it.
You've been conned. Wake up and smell the graft.
