I'm sure he's a good man, but where do we find such fools as these?

Beats me, but anyone thinking the War of Northern Aggression was anything but States rights is a public school idiot.

Were did the USA get the right to force a State to stay in voluntary union??

He’s correct according to Historians. Of course we did not learn this in public school.

It was an economics war and a war on the expansion out West.

Slavery was an auxiliary issue.

The South wanted to succeed and the North said no. That’s why the South calls it the war of Northern Aggression.

He’s right... While slavery has been the single dumbed down reason given, but the civil war was far more than just about abolition.

If it was, tell me why the Union had Slave states, and the Emancipation Proclamation did free a single slave in those states?

Go read up on the tariff of abomination, and the nullifier movement etc.

Desperation to stop establishment knuckleheads, who, in this case, actually know better.

Mr. Stewart should look up the Cornerstone Speech.

The Minnesota counties referenced on this map were actually sites of battles between the Lakota and white settlers in 1862 and had nothing to do with the events of the. Civil War. I am at loss about what battles are shown in North Dakota. At that time the area would have been Indian territory.
