No matter what you think or do, the Confederacy and Slavery heroic defense of states rights and republican values against a terrible onslaught from a federal invader will always be connected in history and equated with one another.

There, fixed it for you. Yank

Good job, central_va.

After the tariff standoff in 1833, Andrew Jackson wrote, "The tariff was only the pretext, and disunion and southern confederacy the real object. The next pretext will be the negro, or slavery question."

States rights was the cause; slavery was the occasion.

shame that many of those northerners who come down here have no clue about history , I just wished I had a penny for everytime I have heard these idiots say it was all over slavery and that is why the north went to war.
