Don't ever stop. The War Where The Slaver Cunts In The South Were Little Bitches And Got Their Asses Kicked was a righteous endeavor. (lemmy.world)

Yes, it was a complex war, and worthy of study.

No, the South wasn't fighting for (much of) anything more than keeping slavery. You are free to read the letters of succession that every state sent Congress and see for yourself, draw your own conclusions. My take away is that slavery was clearly the top concern, but they had other gripes as well.

No, the North wasn't fighting so much for the rights of blacks. The North was hardly the "good guys" regarding that, but it's damned fortuitous they won or we would have been split and weakened.

What happened after the war is perhaps more interesting than the casus belli.

If you know nothing about the civil war, you know it was about slavery.

If you know a little about the civil war you know it was abouts states rights.

If you know a lot about the civil war, you know it was about slavery.

it was about states rights to have slavery.

Great comment, thank you. Too many people do not really understand how it was on either side.
