the civil war was a little bit about slavery.

You never heard of the cornerstone speech

In his March 21, 1861, Cornerstone Speech, Confederate Vice President Alexander H. Stephens presents what he believes are the reasons for what he termed was a "revolution." This revolution resulted in the American Civil War. Stephens's speech is remembered by many for its defense of slavery, its outlining of the perceived differences between the North and the South, and the racial rhetoric used to show the inferiority of African Americans. A few weeks after the speech, on April 12, 1861, Confederate forces fired on Fort Sumter in Charleston Harbor, initiating the American Civil War.
"Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner-stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition. This, our new government, is the first, in the history of the world, based upon this great physical, philosophical, and moral truth."

and some were Christians opposing slavery on moral grounds.

Not many. The largest anti-slavery organization in the country only numbered a few thousand in the entire country.

it was a little bit.

tariffs also made the nation and peole rich.

not just the corporations.

no, they brought in waves of immigrants and let them starve when the business cycle slowed down; it was seasonal, and the poor had to alternate between farm labor in the growing seasons and factory work in the off season; a large percentage were left unemployed for months at a time. Employers didn't care, since new waves would arrive every year. The 'middle class' barely reached 5 to 10 percent at most.

A very little bit.

AI Overview

Before the Civil War, the abolitionist movement in the United States, while influential, did not have widespread popular support. Estimates suggest that only a small percentage of the population, perhaps 2-3% in the North, were active abolitionists.

A belief held by the majority of abolitionists as well. Sucks that there is so much history that still hasn't been censored by left and right wing ideologues yet. There isn't much of a difference between them when it comes to lying and abusing the proles.

the death of the democrat party has got Edwin all in a tizzy trying to besmirch the republicans party.

he's going way back.

it's true, parties are not the point.

but lincolns realpolitik made him side with the good people this time.

and that's a good thing.

and the good actually mattered.

lol utter rubbish. He mass murdered whites and blacks for his beloved bankers and railroad swindlers and big corporations. Just admit you love him for that.

everythings a morality play.

Or in your case an amorality play built on a fictional history. Leftists and rightists both share that propaganda style.
