Uh huh

 

[Canadian Dragon]

Sounds like a cop out for evading that it was indeed about slavery to me

 

[Canadian Dragon]

But I ain't gonna argue w ppl who pick and choose /make excuses for factual historical facts

 

[Dakstang]

People today. "The Civil War was completely 100% about slavery!"

 

[Dakstang]

The man who started the war:

 

[Dakstang]

"My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union"

that quote means nothing?

 

[Canadian Dragon]

[Canadian Dragon]

[Dakstang]

 

[Canadian Dragon]

he also says slavery a bunch of times in that quote, and the reason the south wanted to secede was because they wanted to own slaves

 

[Canadian Dragon]

so yes, it was about slavery 100%, youve literally proven that it was dumbass

 

[Canadian Dragon]

like the union was broken literally because they didnt want to give up slaves
