Bro, I think I thought of one you mythed.

11. Slavery was dying in the South anyway. Therefore the Union invasion and conquest of the Confederacy had nothing to do with slavery, as the institution would have faded away in just a couple of years anyway.

I’m sure you’re aware that slavery was more profitable and entrenched than ever in 1860, and that southerners had since about 1820 gradually shifted from a consensus that slavery was a necessary evil to an equal and opposite consensus that it was a positive good.

But this one has been brought up to me numerous times, and thought you might want to add it to your list.

Excellent!
Now we're up to at least a dozen, maybe 13 with your previous suggestion...
I especially like the one I "mythed". ;-)

Excellent point and one of the most outlandish myths from the Lost Cause side.

I agree with adding it to the list.
