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

note:
I'm a native, and life-long New Yorker, a daim yankee by Southern standards, even if not by that of the North.

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.

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?

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.

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!

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?

Ownership and right to build Ft Sumter was settled in 1841..... Look it up, you"knuckledragger".

NPS Historical Handbook: Fort Sumter

In the preceding May, one William Laval, resident of Charleston, had secured from the State a conveniently vague grant to 870 acres of "land" in Charleston Harbor. In November, acting under this grant, Laval notified the representative of the United States Engineers at Fort Johnson of his claim to the site of Fort Sumter.

I didn't say that. There were other issues...most of the ones posted in this discussion were not but mythologies created in the late 19th Century. For example States Rights. The other issues involved were essentially extraneous or irrelevent. No Slavery issue, no Civil War. That's a fact. Not an opinion. The vast majority of these so called other issues are Lost Cause Mythologies.

Did the Union go to war over slavery? Make the case.
