It is not a great article. It is based on the supposition that the Civil War was all about slavery. This is BS.

If you want to beleive this simplistic leftist cookie cutter view of US history go ahead be ignorant.

Exactly.

The Civil War wasn’t only, or even mostly, about slavery.
Not all slaves were black.
Not all slave owners were white.
Most Americans today have zero connection to slave holding.

Most Confederate soldiers were poor, uneducated farmers who just wanted to take care of their fields and their families.

I appreciate my veteran forefathers - Union and Confederate. And I wish today’s culture knew what “honor answering honor” means.
