The southern states fought for their independence. To say that they fought to defend slavery would be saying that the northern states were fighting to end slavery, which is absolutely not the case whatsoever.
Complete and utter BULLSHIT. The South withdrew from the Union because OF SLAVERY. They claimed Lincoln would somehow magically abolish it. THAT was the entire reason for the war. The only State Right that they were worried about was the right to keep slaves.
You delusional idiots amaze me to no end.
Of course. Simple (rhetorical) question. If secession wasn't about slavery, how was it that only slave states seceded? Some sort of extraordinary coincidence?
Yet if it was solely about slavery why did five slave states remain in the Union?
