They didn't. Abolitionist movements led by Christians in the North and South would have had slavery eradicated in the United States within another 20-30 years. The Civil War was about states rights, not slavery.

Shhh! You're not allowed to say that because we, the sheeple, don't want it to be true.

The Civil War was about states rights.

I don't know much about the reasons for a Civil War but what did Pres. Lincoln want the southern states to do or what were the southern states doing that bothered Lincoln?

If the probelm was states rights what did the northern states lose?

What was this lawyer up to?
