Can anyone answer what the Civil War was about ???? I bet slavery comes in to play in more then one reasoning...Lazy evil southern states getting money and power off the backs of blacks...feeding hate and cruelty into a nation that was trying to move away from such...Now sure it was more then one reasoning for the southern states to leave the Union but slavery still was a major major player...give your reason(s) for the war and lets see..and yeah Lincoln didn't care about the slave one way or the other his main concern was to keep the Union together but he also didn't want slavery to spread anymore then it had...Southern people who claim that Heritage $hit are just as ignorant as their ancestor...nothing to be proud of when you raping, killing, abusing, breaking up families, abusing, and mistreating another race...

Apparently it's a secret.

It's not about slavery though!

It's about states rights! (the right to own slaves)
Taxes and tariffs! (on slave labor)
The election of Lincoln! (because they thought he'd end slavery)

Now i know why, when at work or somewhere casual your asked to not bring up politics.
People with truly warped views on history, or politics, or shit even just life in general ruin it for all the people injecting real talking points, and issues and relating it with factual history, not some misunderstood or stupefied version or just textbook shit taught in school.
These types of people are lost and cant grasp reality nor will they ever.
Now that's some history and reality for your asses.

You guys are implying that the civil war wasn't about slavery because Lincoln supported slavery (lol). I'd like to know what it's about then?
It was about Centralizing Power and the destruction of Federalism ultimately resulting in the desired Reconstruction period and the dismantling of the Constitution.

Anymore questions?

Lincoln did not support slavery..
Lincoln was a pragmatist and whether or not he supported Slavery he did admit that the "negroid slave race" will never be equal in intrinsic quality to the WHite man.

Would you like me to find the quotes for you? It's pretty easy.

"I will say then that I am not, nor ever have been, in favor of bringing about in any way the social and political equality of the white and black races; I am not nor ever have been in favor of making voters or jurors of negroes, nor of qualifying them to hold office, nor to intermarry with white people."
-Lincoln

"I will say in addition to this that there is a physical difference between the white and black races which I believe will forever forbid the two races living together on terms of social and political equality. And inasmuch as they cannot so live, while they do remain together there must be the position of superior and inferior, and I, as much as any other man, am in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race."
-Lincoln

There are many more....... So to claim Lincoln's 600,000 dead was to free a race of people that were no more valuable than a bowl of fudge seems a little ridiculous. But that's what the Government Textbooks tell us.
