I'll disagree, and I know you don't want the thread derailed, but almost everyone who fought was fighting for their state, at least in the south. The north union army was largely conscripted and loaded with immigrants who would have had to toil in steel mills or coal mines. Few if any gave a rat's about slavery and I doubt any of them wanted freed black people living next to them in the following decades.They fought for the democrat party......the party that controlled the Confederate states.......
I would prefer to not move this thread into that territory though.......
In the south you had mostly rural agrarian residents who were fighting for their state. They were not all racists who hated blacks and were motivated by nothing but keeping slavery legal. That's a bullshit leftist narrative. The same leftists who are deliberately trying to erase the history of the democrook party, it's devotion to maintaining slavery and poverty in favor of elitists, that created the KKK as well as continue to fund groups like ANTIFA.
The DNC has been the enemy of the republic since 1860.
Period.
End of fucking discussion.
