Quote:Not ignoring just putting it in context. There was no agriculture anywhere in the world without slavery and agriculture was their lively hood. If the war was about the north wanting to free slaves there wouldn't have been slave states in the union, nor would Lincoln have waited so long to make the emancipation proclamation, I can go on and on.


Slavery was the final straw that pushed them to succession but flsprtgod was suggesting the civil war is what freed the slaves, that's not even remotely true.
