Lies.
The south flourished on lies.
Pretending that slavery was a good thing.
Pretending that those of African heritage could never be equal to a white man.
Pretending that the war was about the tariff

Pretending that the south, could be independent. The south and slavery only flourished via cotton because of the Cotton Gin, an invention by a northern industrialist. Slave owners made millions by renting their slaves out to build military installations with federal money.

Slave owners enslaved whites using the militia rolls to coerce poor non-slave owners into chasing runaway slaves.
