It has less to do with slavery, and more to do with the souther states not liking the federal government taking over there laws (that suited the north much more then the south). Now if only there was a way to accomplish what they were trying to do, without war. That would be awesome. Time has proven them right. |
Well states' rights was the issue they used, but that's not what made them go to war. If they had said they couldn't drink wine anymore, I doubt there woudl have even been a conflict. But because, it was about race relations, that is what caused it to being more than just a disagreement and turning into a war that killed almost a million Americans. Let's not pad it down, like some people try to do with Nazi Holocaust. We know why it happened and we know the underlying cause, let's not soften it up.
