@wallachiamn @bamlongton @LocalBateman Again, the civil war was fought because of slavery I don't deny that. What I am trying to say is that most people who fought in the war didn't even had slaves. They were either forced or volunteered because they found themselves threaten by northern powers.
@wallachiamn @bamlongton @LocalBateman Imagine living in a southern town as a young lad and then you see a bunch of northern soldiers burning your house down, rape the women and steal your food. What would you have done?
@wallachiamn @bamlongton @LocalBateman for the rich southerners it was about keeping slavery. for the random poor southerner it was because of northern aggression. Not everything needs to be black and white (no pun intended).
