You don’t understand, for most Southerners the war was just to get away from the New England Yankee puritans. We just plain don’t like you. Get it? Slavery was as good a reason as any. Killing Yankees with a free rifle and ammo was really appealing to a lot of people back then, still is to a lot of folks.
Yeah but now you have football.
I bet you’re just a barrel of laughs at Tupperware parties ;-)
Rifles work for all parties. No doubt some of the laws that forbade slavery from operating in free states were intended to keep southeron slavers from visiting the yankees.
Bit the Northern states didn’t start a war over it.
