re: #74 Obdicut

I didn’t say that it was the only reason that people fought for the confedearcy.

It was, however, the issue that the states seceded. They seceded to keep the right to own black people as slaves.

That is why every secession document contains a declaration about slavery.

And as soon as they exerted their “rights”, they surrendered many of those rights to a overweening wartime federation.
