Who even cares?The slavery question did NOT come into play for about two years. The TRUTH is the south had a bumper crop so large the north broke their price agreement with SOUTH CAROLINA. SC the burned cotten on the beach next to the docks. The NORTH then marched down and burned the docks so SC could only ship overland to them.Nobody's on the Confederate side, you idiot. Defending first amendment and states rights doesn't make him Johnny Reb, you dumb fuck. Damn, you're stupid!
Try as you may.......Historians have declared that the Civil War's main cause was slavery. And that isn't how you spell cotton, retard.
That flag denotes "slavery" and retard DarkFury refuses to accept it. States rights was just a "key" issue......but the obstinate South didn't want government telling them what to do (they couldn't own slaves.) Much like the conservatives of today.That flag WAS states RIGHTS and states ability to buy and sell freely. THAT'S the southern heritage that's the southern pride.
Mertex the Moron just refuses to face it.
What led to the outbreak of the bloodiest conflict in the history of North America?
A common explanation is that the Civil War was fought over the moral issue of slavery.
In fact, it was the economics of slavery and political control of that system that was central to the conflict.
A key issue was states' rights.
The Southern states wanted to assert their authority over the federal government so they could abolish federal laws they didn't support, especially laws interfering with the South's right to keep slaves and take them wherever they wished.

Dude, the North had slaves as well as the South. The total percentage of white who owned slaves was less than ten percent.
Those two facts alone debunks the notion that the war was mainly due to slavery.
As soon as the abolitionist Lincoln was elected the south went into rebellion, that and their constitutions and reasons for succession prove beyond doubt the war was to protect the rich democrat aristocrats state right, of owning slaves.
It is over, fact is, nobody in the 150 years since the 13th has found a profitable use for illiterate unskilled labor.
Time to address the problems of today, rather than dwell on theories of which cause of the Civil War was the most important one.
Of course, the whole flag and slavery discussion is just a deflection from the failure of Obama to do a thing to better the lower and middle classes.
Me thinks most of the lettuce you eat was picked by low skilled labor. Labor that apparently Obama and the liberals don't think we have enough of.
Denying or ignoring the past is a huge mistake, in my opinion.
If there is no use for unskilled low educated workers we are really in trouble.
