Quote:But how can you deny the words of the politicians in the Southern states who led the secession?    They all said the reason they seceded was to preserve slavery.  

I have posted direct quotes over and over from four different articles of secession, and from southern political leaders.  Were they lying?  

 

Anyone with any knowledge of history knows that the one thing that consumed the country for the decade leading up to the Civil War was slavery, slavery, slavery.  

 

I am astounded by the incredible ignorance of history displayed by some of you people.   It's amazing.   How you can twist yourself into this belief that the Civil War was fought over a tariff.  Or that the South seceded to defend states' rights.   They seceded to defend slavery.   THEY SAID SO THEMSELVES. 
 

They also said one reason was because the north was bleeding the south.  THEY ALSO SAID SO THEMSELVES.
