The Civil War was fought to keep the South subservient to the North. Slavery was just the excuse.
Just you wait. If we have another civil war and the bad guys win, history books a hundred years from now will write about how we just wanted to oppress the gays and xirs and force poor women to have babies against their will.
Something like <1.5% of the population owned slaves. I wouldnt leave my family and march 1000 miles to fight my countrymen over some rich bastards arguing. I would do this for my liberties.
Then theres the other shit that went down like poisoning wells, burning and salting fields just to make recovery harder.
