from Lincoln's letter:
>...My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery...
There you have it boys! No one gave a shit about the slave.
the civil war was about the thing that deomcrats and republicans have been fighting over since the borth of the republican party.
states rights vs federal rights.
north wanted big government. the south didn't.
ironically it was big government that funded slavery. in a sense slavery was pushed onto the south and continuously funded and supported by the north.
Take the good ole Confederate redpill
Slowly because it'ยง a doozy
It WAS about slavery retard

it was about states rights to continue slavery among other things but that was the biggest
why does everyone insist it has to be one or the other?
The funnest part is when you realized the feds fucked over the nogs at the same time as Southerners because instead of gradually freeing them ( like they did in the north and elsewhere in the world ) they just released them. Then they gave us both another good fucking when they forced us all to live in each others neighborhoods and schools.

Says the niggers who voted in the Fugitive Slave Act, and did Bleeding Kansas.
Remember kiddies, the South were Democrat, and fought for their pet niggers.

how could it have been when an amendment was passed, but not ratified (due to the war), that made abolition unconstitutional. Jeez that's weird

it had NOTHING to do with slavery
it had EVERYTHING to do with tariffs

>implying that the North was fighting to free the nigger
GTFO right now
Slavery was ugly and outdated. It was an easy way for Lincoln to take the high road and make himself seem like a liberator instead of a tyrant.
I'm a yankee but I love the southern heroes, as well as northern.
