Having ObamaCare - Maybe This Is Only Funny To A Lawyer
Authored by: PJ on Saturday, June 30 2012 @ 10:30 AM EDT
Well, it was about money. Slaves were making money
for people who didn't have to share much back to the
folks making the money.

They didn't want to change. Certainly all the arguments
were about slavery. Remember the Missouri Compromise?
It was the big issue of the day.

So it was about slavery.

Quoting:

And the American Civil war was mostly about the south's right to leave the union, not about slavery.

Baloney.

In 1861, in Savannah Georgia, the vice president of the confederacy forever gave the lie to this revisionist claim. Mr. Stephens said this:

The new constitution has put at rest, forever, all the agitating questions relating to our peculiar institution African slavery as it exists amongst us [words too reprehensible to repeat here redacted]... This was the immediate cause of the late rupture and present revolution.
