On April 12, the 150th anniversary of the start of the Civil War, BND.com asked "Why did we fight the Civil War?" Two Union Army re-enactors were marking the occasion at the St. Clair County Courthouse in Belleville, where Illinois volunteers signed up to fight the Confederacy 150 years ago. BTW: Most historians agree we fought the war over slavery. Everything else was rooted in that central cause.
