The Civil War was started over whether some yankee up north had any business telling a southern town how to run it’s everyday affairs. Examples of this are the taxes they’d have to pay on common goods, like finished clothes made from their own cotton.

Remember, before the 3/4ths compromise, the constitution had to compromise on the bicameral legislature. Now, you wanna talk about a forshadowing of war, there you go.

yes, Slavery was an issue, a big issue, but it wasn’t THE ISSUE.

Lincoln was a great man, overcame many obstacles, and lived a tragic life. At the start of the war, he simply wanted to keep the US in one piece, and later in his tenure as president, he became the human rights activist. But you do every southerner that fought and died for self determination a major dis service to marginalize what they put their life on the line for. It wasn’t slavery, it was freedom and self determination.
