The end of slavery was one of the eventual outcomes of the war. Odd that every other country that had slaves was able to ban slavery without killing a million of its own citizens...UK and France for example.The Civil War was all about slavery, OK? It wasn't the War of Northern Aggression or the War Between the States. That's bullshit. It was a Civil War, and it was about slavery. Denying that is like denying that the Nazis murdered millions of Jews in concentration camps... oh, wait, you deny that, too?

Only it wasn't.The Civil War was all about slavery, OK? It wasn't the War of Northern Aggression or the War Between the States. That's bullshit. It was a Civil War, and it was about slavery.

There's an old movie about the life of Lincoln where he ties a cart to the end of a village "tug-o-war" to beat his opponents when his side was losing. The lecturer was surprised when I connected the "wagon" with "slavery" as an issue. What was the film trying to tell us?? (ps: I was there for the free movie with a lass; not the humanities course).Only it wasn't.The Civil War was all about slavery, OK? It wasn't the War of Northern Aggression or the War Between the States. That's bullshit. It was a Civil War, and it was about slavery.

If Lincoln had stated that he was going to ban slavery and emancipate the slaves and the South refused. Then you could say it was fought over slavery but that never happened. Lincoln had no intention of banning slavery. It was just that as Sherman had pushed deep into Georgia it was a smart military tactic to cause maximum disruption.
And I'm as left-wing as you can get.
Uhm, that's a non-answer if I've ever heard one not to mention I recognise at least 2 logical fallacies.The end of slavery was one of the eventual outcomes of the war.

No you silly person; the Civil War was about $....as usual.
Make no mistake; that slavery was ended was a good thing and overdue. You must also be aware that the North DESTROYED the South's ECONOMY. No money for reparations.

Name a specific other one please?Slavery was one of the main causes of the civil war. However, it was not the sole one.
The North destroyed the South's economy because the South made war upon the North. Remember Fort Sumpter?The end of slavery was one of the eventual outcomes of the war.

I do remember. Do you remember that they shot at Sumpter because they seceded from the Union? Do you remember the reason they did that?The North destroyed the South's economy because the South made war upon the North.

No , the CW was about keeping slavery from the South’s perspectiveThe Civil War was all about slavery, OK? It wasn't the War of Northern Aggression or the War Between the States. That's bullshit.

Yes, it was because they wanted to keep their slaves.I do remember. Do you remember that they shot at Sumpter because they seceded from the Union?

If it was only about slavery, why did Lincoln offer to make slavery a Constitutional right so long as the Southern states came back into the Union?The Civil War was all about slavery, OK?

LOL sorry just noticed we are in agreement. My bad.Yes, it was because they wanted to keep their slaves.I do remember. Do you remember that they shot at Sumpter because they seceded from the Union?

Oh, yes, slave owners were people of ill repute! That is completely ridiculous. If you're seriously going to advance that position, you'd better put forward some evidence...Slave owners were people of illl repute. Too lazy to do the work themselves and too cheap to actually pay for labor. To believe another human could actually be property is unfathomable. To use lashing and whipping to control a group of people was inhumane and repugnant.
Nope. you are wrong.Uhm, that's a non-answer if I've ever heard one not to mention I recognise at least 2 logical fallacies.The end of slavery was one of the eventual outcomes of the war.

Wether or not other countries were capable of abolishing slavery has absolutely no bearing on whether or not the US was. That's a red herring.
The same goes for your "it was about money"
The fact of the matter was that their was 1 and only 1 reason for the civil war and that was slavery. Specifically the issue of slavery being allowed to expand into new territories. An issue that caused the South to secede when Lincoln was elected.
Yeah, well, the facts are the facts -- and this was the era before alternative facts.That largely depends on when and where you grew up.
I grew up in the North in the 1950s and 1960s. Therefore the Civil War was about slavery.
Had I grown up in the South I would have learned it was about states rights and was a war of northern aggression.

When did Lincoln do that?If it was only about slavery, why did Lincoln offer to make slavery a Constitutional right so long as the Southern states came back into the Union?The Civil War was all about slavery, OK?
