Then you must disagree with Confederates who claimed:
"African slavery is the corner-stone of the industrial, social, and political fabric of the South; and whatever wars against it, wars against her very existence.
Strike down the institution of African slavery and you reduce the South to depopulation and barbarism."
Lawrence Keitt, Congressman from South Carolina, in a speech to the House on January 25, 1860.
"...any man who pretends to believe that this is not a war for the emancipation of the blacks, and that the whole course of the Yankee government has not only been directed to the abolition of slavery, but even to a stirring up of servile insurrections, is either a fool or a liar."
-- The Vidette, a camp newspaper for Confederate Brig. Gen. John Hunt Morgan's cavalry brigade, November 1862.
