Correct. It was a needless war, and that's why Lincoln is the worst president this country has had. He killed almost a million US citizens for no reason. It could have been avoided.
No, it was inevitable. If it wasn't Lincoln, it would have been the next guy. Antebellum was a time bomb, like Europe in 1913

I did after reconmark made a reference to the screen name. I had never heard of Mary Phagan. What a horrible story.

Really,a 13 yr girl was raped and murdered.So I should be ashamed of that screen name if it was in honor of a little girl.Or maybe it is my name,did you ever think of that?
No, it means you are just lashing out with a lame excuse for your inability to distinguish between word meanings!
Uhhh, reconmark? Believe me, if it were just a matter of misspelling or typo? I would never have given it a second thought. Hell, I do it all the time.
No, the ISSUE I wanted to address is that you obviously -- for all your lecturing on the history of motivations of the Southern states -- do not even understand -- nor apparently care too -- the differences between "sucession" and "secession" in terms of application as to clarity. For example? It is easy to mispell a word. I do it ALL the time. Oh lord do I EVER! LOL
However? Just to say (after all, I figure a person of your obvious knowledge about history should know this), Tennessee "succeeded" South Carolina in "secession."
ROFLMAO Making an excuse for what? Hell, I didn't even live back then, did you?
The first colony to legalize slavery was Massachusetts. The slave trade was totally in the hands of northern shipping merchants. They made a great living off of it.
Here is the link again! In fact, I am going to directly link something about northern profits on it. And a few other sub-links! You don't like it? Tough shlt.
As the old phrase goes, are you getting a bit frustrated and testy and all? GOOD! I will direct you to the posts above for a few other things to get testy and frustrated about!
You have a good evenin', now...and happy reading! You heah?
Those ignorant farmers may have started out believing the propaganda of the wealthy white land owners, who convinced them to fight in order to maintain freedom from Northern aggression.
However any fool who read the charters of succession from Southern States knew exactly why the Land Owners wanted a war. They wanted to maintain their ability to use human beings as cattle.
They were willing to dissolve this country in order to maintain their wealth and status.
Thank God they lost and I would gladly **** on their headstones if I could.
No governmental entity came down south threatening to take any farms.
No governmental entity came down south threatening to take away any rights, except those to enslave people.
No governmental entity came down south and threatened to make white people into what they forced Black People to live under.
The South fought to maintain an Land where racial degradations, humiliation, and cruelty were the norm.
Were they Heroes???...of course they were, to White Supremacist, Racist, Low Bred Whites, and to Traitors of the U.S.A.
Like I said, they are heroes. Robert E Lee and Stonewall Jackson are American heroes. They are just like Washington and Adams. They fought for what they thought was right.
I'm sure, unlike you, they would not P*** on anybody's headstone because they are gentlemen, unlike you.

I've read the history. You aren't fooling me. I know how Mary Phagan was used.
Like I said, they are heroes. Robert E Lee and Stonewall Jackson are American heroes. They are just like Washington and Adams. They fought for what they thought was right.
.
And what they thought was right was seceding from the USA and willing to go to war with the USA.
Sorry, but I can't commemorate the act of a whole region of the country taking up arms against the United States. That just seems wrong to me. Very, very wrong.
.
But you are OK with the colonies taking up arms against the King of England. That's hypocritical.

Actually I won't be reading much of the links you provided.
I don't rationalise rape.
I don't rationalise murder.
I don't rationalise drug use.
So I don't listen to fools who rationalise slavery, murder, kidnapping, torture, and treason.
YOU Heah?...
