An American Carol Slavery

A clip from the movie "An American Carol" about slavery and what would have happened had Lincoln never fought the civil war.

NOTE: I do not own the rights to this movie, it is simply posted for your enjoyment. I would highly recommend renting or buying this movie, it is a great comedy with many well-known actors, such as Kelsie Grammar and Trace Adkins.

@finrodbrs cant argue with that :D

@airsoftomatic Minor (or secondary is probably a better word) for the the North, yes. But the underlying reason why the South seceded was to protect slavery.

[airsoftomatic]

@finrodbrs true, but he is correct in saying that the slavery was one of the more minor issues. lincoln only fought to preserve the union. the first draft of the speech that became the emancipation proclamation stated that the south could keep the slaves if they returned to the union. after the south didnt accept, abraham lincoln abolished slavery in the south, leaving maryland, a northern slave state free to keep their slaves.

@zakita247 Where did you learn this?

@zakita247 Dude, read "A Patriot's History of the United States" and you may change your mind. Here's a quote from the Confederate Constitution (and the book cites a source for it), "Our new Government is founded . . . upon the great truth that the negro is not the equal of the white man. That slavery--subordination to the superior race, is his natural and normal condition."

@bluegrassreb1 actually the civil war was over states rights. The war happend because some of the states tried to leave the union over several issues the biggest being taxation/tarriffs that gave the economic advantage to the norths manufacturing plants.

Slavery was one of the lesser issues in that time period.

I'm a liberal and I think this movie is really funny. Groups like vegans are destroying the Democratic party making them look like a bunch of Anti-American people who are judgmental of everyone. The Democratic party needs to distance itself from gay pride groups, animal rights groups, etc. It should focus on more on economics.
