Not one of those soldiers on either side had slavery on their minds when they were fighting, its amazing how the winners of the war can demonize their enemy. Ever think its a coincidence the US is always the good guys in every history lesson?

people think the civil war was about slavery..when it honestly wasn't. Yes there was a dispute in politics about slavery, but there was no act on it until Gettysburg if not after it. Most of the southern generals: Robert E Lee, Stonewall Jackson, hell even Crubern..they mostly fought because THEY fought for THEIR homes. THEIR STATES. Just because slavery was a part of the war..doesn't make it the whole war. Just because it was wrong doesn't make its defenders evil either.

ThrillerStinger - The Civil War was all about slavery. The south ceceded because they believed Lincoln's election would mean the end of slavery. They fought for their homes, yes, and they fought to keep their slaves.

It was the Battle of Antietam that Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation, freeing slaves in the any state that was in rebellion, but not any state that was part of the Union (Border States).

Not very Wrong. Sorry I meant partially wrong

[stuffydan]

You are partially right on some parts. I'm here to inform you that the civil war was fought cause of the south seceding. Their was originally not ganna be a war. Just a politic war if so or any. The shots that where fired at sumter is what sparked it. The North Tried to take what the south had for A LONNNG time. That is Slavery. Lincoln Became President and the South was fed up and seceded. My good sir you are very wrong,

we though have found out alot of the bad events we have done in recent decades that would tell us other wise and finally the truth is becoming clearer to us

The constitutionally correct way to resolve the slavery issue would have been to follow the prescribed methods for ammending the constitution. The Southern states put themselves in the wrong when they unilaterally took themselves out of the union. They had no constitutional right to declare secession, because no mechanism for dissolving the union was ever set up. If they had wanted to secede legally, they would first have had to ammend the constitution to allow it.

Read "Declaration of the Immediate Causes Which Induce and Justify the Secession of South Carolina from the Federal Union." Then tell me the Civil War was not about slavery.

[DannyBoyo68]

Nope. The South were the bad guys here. History is pretty clear on that.
