LOL! Ain't that the truth.
Anyone with a lick of sense and the ability to read a comprehensive sentence can delve into the history for themselves. Unfortunately, it takes a lot more effort to learn the facts than it does to have the public education system spoon-feed them to you.
These people are so wrapped up in their 'noble cause' they're blind to the shredding of the Constitution and the destruction of the Republic...... then they whine about government control.
Go figure! :-)
From the article:
“....Historians disagree about whether the war would have happened ‘with or without slavery.’ Slavery was a national evil, the great mainstay of the agrarian South and a catalyst for polarized politics and violent action on both sides. But even Southerners have now forgotten about the enormous and complex roster of constitutionally based complaints regarding tariffs, direct and indirect taxation, the extraordinarily significant issue of nullification, innumerable federal impositions and more, and more, which led the Confederate states to draft their declarations of secession. These short, concise documents are not only fascinating, they are of obviously incalculable value to any free citizen whose aim is to know the history of his state, his country and his constitution. Do you know of even one young Southerner who has studied any of these documents in school?’
