The secessionts states said secession was about slavery. The whole period leading up to secession was about the coming of the majority "free states." The slave states were loosing their clout. The election of Lincoln without carrying a single southern slave state spelled the end of slave state power. So they picked up their ball and decided to go home.
The end of slavery in the US was drawing near. The secessionist states realized it. Their act of secession speeded up the process and they got their arses kicked for good measure. Sweet!
Was the "Civil War" about slavery, or was secession about slavery? Or, can it be either as convenience allows?
Why did the North introduce slavery to the South? Was it a good idea, or something we just don't talk about...questions that we ignore?
If the war was about slavery, why did the North maintain their slaves after those in the South were free?
The war was about slavery...right?
Why the continued deption of labeling, such as "Civil War" & "United States"?
Please ignore any questions that you may feel uncomfortable with.
So true. Today, everyones liberty and rights are subserviant to the federal governments.
"Sweet!"
(congratulations)
The South may have lost the war...but we damn sure didn't get our "arses" kicked. Without the conservative South...this country today would be more communist than Red China. Below is an image of the 2000 electoral map. Yankee blue states voting for socialism, Southern Patriot and Heartland states in red. Sweet!
