TX schools will now teach that Civil War was all about slavery!!!

[Wyvgard]

Why do you always sound like, your mother was going for a mechanical bull world record, during her third trimester with you?

Is that what happened to this micropenised microcephalic?

[tsuke]

They chose not to secede, dumbfuck. How many times does that have to be explained to you?

then they chose to stay for other reasons aside from slavery?

You can read for yourself as to why they remained. All being border states had a lot to do with it.

However, the issue isn't who decided to remain in the Union and why, is it, Jethro? It's why those that left, did. And the answer, as has been explained to you multiple times, was SLAVERY.

How many times does the same thing have to be explained to you regarding secession?

[Micawber]

“In all the non-slave-holding States, in violation of that good faith and comity which should exist between entirely distinct nations, the people have formed themselves into a great sectional party, now strong enough in numbers to control the affairs of each of those States, based upon the unnatural feeling of hostility to these Southern States and their beneficent and patriarchal system of African slavery, proclaiming the debasing doctrine of the equality of all men, irrespective of race or color--a doctrine at war with nature, in opposition to the experience of mankind, and in violation of the plainest revelations of the Divine Law. They demand the abolition of negro slavery throughout the confederacy, the recognition of political equality between the white and the negro races, and avow their determination to press on their crusade against us, so long as a negro slave remains in these States.”

Probably something to that effect. I googled it, and apparently it's more common then you'd think.

It's a Northern tradition to refer to Lincoln's War as either:
- the War between the States, OR
- the Civil War, by any name, the U.S. war that claimed the lives of more than any other war in U.S. history.

BUT !!

Many of our beloved Southern brethren prefer to refer to it as "the War of Northern Aggression".

- dandy

That's fine. If they wish to call it that, so be it.

BUT !!

That specific name leaves specifying the reason for their alleged "Northern aggression" to the Northerners.

If they say it was about slavery, it was about slavery.

If Southerners don't like that reality, perhaps they should call it "the Civil War" instead.

You could say that.. The union blockaded Charleston Harbor by taking over Fort Sumter.

America took over its own fort?

[Minister of Truth]

The Feds began building Ft Sumter without ownership.. Its an interesting story and wasn't settled until 1841..

The Union blockade of Ft Sumter in the American Civil War was a naval strategy by the United States to prevent the Confederacy from trading.

1841 was before the Civil War, wasn't it?

[Text Drivers are Killers]

If slavery was the only issue then all the slave states in the north would be in the confederacy

That's what i've been telling these morons. Both sides practiced slavery throughout the War so how can the war be about ending slavery???

[Text Drivers are Killers]

You are the stupidest motherfucker on this forum, pigfucker.

Nobody talks that way to me!!!

[Text Drivers are Killers]

They chose not to secede, dumbfuck. How many times does that have to be explained to you?

But why did lincoln allow FOUR slave owning states to stay in the union. ?? If the war was about freeing the slaves he'd have told them to abolish slavery or go with the south.

Sure they do, pigfucker.

It’s already been explained to you multiple times, ignorant pigfucker. Lincoln had no say and no authority to “let them” do anything. Their legislatures voted to remain in the Union.

It wasn’t about abolishing slavery for Lincoln. At least at first. It was to keep the Union intact.

You are an amazingly huge historical ignoramus.

THINK!

[domer76]

so lincoln did not want to end slavery but the south started the war for no other reason than for lincoln to not end slavery?

If slavery was the only issue then all the slave states in the north would be in the confederacy

Nobody said it was the ONLY issue, dumbfuck. But every article of secession in the southern states made slavery the primary reason.

Why do you cretins wish to remain so willfully ignorant?
