I’m from Mississippi. The liberals here are quick to cite the articles of secession (preserve slavery) as the prime motive for the war.
It’s much deeper than that. From the lyrics to “the Bonnie Blue Flag” to the memoirs of Jefferson Davis, you learn that the union breached its contract (slavery was legal). This is why they left.
I like to poke fun at the democrats by reminding them that the democrats fought to preserve cheap labor. Likewise, they fight for illegals to come to the US so they can have cheap labor mow their yards.
I don’t disagree with that either. In Davis’s books, you learn that his motivation was that the government usurped its authority by making a legal (it was in the constitution) practice, illegal.
Most liberals would never consider reading his books. But they give a clear explanation of why the south was violated.
For this, we now have to endure the BLM appeasement dolts with their talks of reparations.
They union conscription act was awful, imagine grabbing people off a boat that just immigrated here and then here take this gun get on this boat and die in our war. If there was resistance then and there likely the North would have lost the Civil War. The draft riots at the time was not enough, more steps were needed. Yes it was the mob you are correct, just like today the mob gets its way on TV while real patriots are censored and blacklisted.
He represented a group of thugs who waged war against states that VOLUNTARILY joined the union and wanted to leave.
The union was like the mob. You can join but you can never leave alive.

Slavery was an awful thing. It wouldn’t have lasted in the south and it wasn’t a reason to kill fellow countrymen by denying them the right to leave.
