    You know, I’ve been arguing with folks all day about this. I posted a happy birthday to a man that played a very big part in our history. All I get is “Racist” comments, and “The civil war was fought over slavery”… Slavery was an issue, it wasn’t THE issue.

    I have stated that the victor gets to write the history. And this is true. The truth is there were a lot of reasons for the South to Rise up and leave the union. It’s the easiest to do to grab the one reason that grants the victor the high ground.

    Look at today’s issues:
    IF a civil war broke out, Say the 27 states that are suing the Government over Obamacare decided to leave the union and war broke out. Those state lose the war would the reason for the fight be “Those states wanted children to die because they refused Government run health care?” or would there be other issues that contributed to the war? Like over reaching government, taxes, inflation created by over federal regulation, state security issues and other things?

    Those are the same issues that faced the southern states prior to the first shot being fired at Ft Sumpter.
