Is it time to revolt?

[Be30mer]

I remember hearing about that. Good stuff. The war was definitely NOT about slaves...


I can't believe no one picked up on my sarcasm. I'm really sad that r3v considers me to be this stupid. :(

The reason that the Southern states seceded from the Union was because the Northern states wouldn't let them expand slavery into the Western territories.

It was about both slavery and secession but the issue of SLAVERY CAME BEFORE SECESSION! Also, Lincoln was ALWAYS an abolitionist. He did not free the slaves for merely political reasons.

Slavery was a reason, but not the only one. It was never purely a war over slaves.

Slavery was NOT the issue according to the 3 classes I've had that discussed the civil war. One that I'm in right now.

The south and the north simply didn't like each other and disagreed on almost everything, slavery was just one of those things. I'm sure slavery was a big part of the cultural reason, but the north did not go to war because of slavery, perhaps the argument could be made for the south succeeding, in some part, because of slavery.

Yup, that's what I said. But it's also ignorant to say that the Civil War was not about slavery because it was very much about slavery. The whole reason that the South seceded was because slavery was key to their economy and the North said they couldn't expand it into the territories. The ironic thing is that if the South hadn't seceded and started the war, which they did when they attacked Fort Sumter, slavery would probably have continued to exist in the states in which it was already legal.
