The Civil War wasn't about slavery !
I'm not sure if you're being facetious or not.
The article asserts that people are being taught, wrongly, exactly what you say here. Any opinion on that? From the article :Yet when each state left the Union, its leaders made clear that they were seceding because they were for slavery and against states’ rights.
No, flagamuffin is not serious. Yes, flagamuffin is making a joke.
Thanks for that.
I hear people assert this all the time, and I believed it myself when I was younger.
Wow. I'm surprised a 21 year old knew that phrase, to be honest. That she had a misshaped view of Civil War history is par for the course, but calling it the war of northern aggression implies a certain involvement or extraordinary bitterness.
