    Nope. Attacking Sumter was a bad idea but they had seceded and the Union was still there. Do you think the war wouldn't have happened if Beauregard hadn't attacked Sumter?

    Do you suppose that question is asked of the Middle-East madrassas, where the two point of education provided to their boys only student body are memorization of the Holy Qur'an, and weapons proficiency, mainly the AK-47 ?
    Education matters!

    The South did NOT go to war over slavery. The north invaded the south to force the south back into the union. The south had no choice then but to fight back.

    That's how i see it too. The south seceded and should have been allowed to go. Lincoln got 600,000 soldiers killed for no purpose.

    More Americans were lost to "the War of Northern Aggression" than any other U.S. War in history, about a half million.

    The pretense that slavery wasn't an issue is absurd.

    There is an alternate theory on the cause of the War. Many people think the european bankers were behind it. They wanted to ultimately split america into 5 or 6 smaller countries so they could pit one country against another every 15 years or so in a costly war like in europe .

    Bankers of course love wars since wars are expensive. The banks lend money to fight the wars and more money to clean up the mess when the war ends.

    Well of course slavery was an issue, you simpleton. But it's not what the civil war was about.

    1. There were 4 UNION states (ky md de mo) that lincoln let practice slavery throughout the war. 300,000 black slaves combined in those states

    2. There were many UNION generals that were slave owners throughout the war. Grant himself owned a slave and his wife owned a bunch of them.

    3. When the war started Lincoln asked slave-owner Robert E Lee to be commander of all UNION troops
    Slavery was, by far, the biggest issue. Basically, it came down to whether or not slavery would be allowed to be expanded into new territories. The abolitionists hated slavery, but, in the interests of preserving the union, were willing to live with a compromise under which slavery was allowed to continue where it was, but couldn't be expanded to new territories. The confederates, however, would not compromise. For a while, the Union held together, because the pro-slavery factions held the presidency, with Democrats Franklin Pierce and James Buchanan. As long as they were winning, they stuck around. Then they lost, though, when Lincoln was elected and so they decided to try to murder some of our troops at Fort Sumter, and the war was on.

    Although the confederates made it very clear it was about slavery at the time, after their defeat the "Lost Cause" myth was built up, insisting it was about something else. Generally, it was states rights they talked about. Of course, that was bullshit. The pro-slavery people were happy to stomp all over states rights in the interests of slave-owners. For example, they wanted the slave status of fugitives from the south to stick with them, such that it overrode state law in the free states. They were quite happy when judges on the Supreme Court ruled to that effect, notwithstanding the fact it undermined the sovereignty of the free states and constituted a huge federal infringement. Further invalidating the states-rights argument about the war was the fact the Confederacy was quicker than the Union to embrace big-government interventions in the war effort, like a draft and central government controls on the economy. Again, so long as it was in furtherance of the interests of slave owners, states rights could be dispensed with.

    He's been a public figure for over 40 years...he's a liberal democrat. The GOP voters were fooled and so were the dems.

    You talking about the cause of the war. And you just admitted it would have happened no matter what. Go back to the kids table.
