This is my last comment to you

I have read original sources from the times. I have been fed nothing. My family fought for both armies

You do not know what you are talking about but keep at it. I am sure it makes you feel important

That is entirely up to you, but I will comment on the topic whenever I deem it should be commented upon.

One side was an invader and the other was a defender of their homeland.

You do not know what you are talking about but keep at it.

I do know what I'm talking about. The money issue is obvious once you start looking at it closely. You couple it with other facts and it becomes clear that the only reason the North attacked the South was to prevent them from establishing low tax European trade and destroying much of the Northern industry.

I am sure it makes you feel important

It is not about me. It is about correcting people's erroneous views of what happened, and trying to get them to see the truth. The Civil War was a war about money and power. The South export industry was subsidizing Northern Industries and the Federal government, and both the Northern Industries and the Federal government wanted it to continue paying the bills. (And they didn't care that the bills were being paid by slave labor.)

Northern Industries and the Federal government went to war with the South to stop it from becoming an independent economic competitor to their existing economic system.

And Boston/New York Wealthy interests have been steering Washington policy ever since.
