The civil war between the U.S.A. and C.S.A. was NOT a result of slavery. the Emancipation Proclamation and freeing of slaves came from the mere need for the union to ruin the C.S.A. economy AFTER the war had allready started. No offence to anyone but Lincoln was not the hero everyone changes history and makes him out to be. The freeing of the slaves was un-popular by the majority of the north and was NOT the cause of the american civil war. It was a by-product of it and only applied to 10 states in the C.S.A. Also, it dint include maryland, the newly forming west virginia, tennesee and others cause the north allready had control of them.
As an example: Maryland is below the mason dixon line (like tennesee) but the north had control of it allready so it was not included in the Emancipation Proclamation. (yes, there were many slaves in maryland)
They CAN't BAN the flag of the C.S.A now because the 1st amendmant constitutional rights of the U.S.A protect it. Also, it still to this day flies over the state capitol of south carolina and many other places in the south. It has nothing to do with slavery. The civil war was NOT started to free the slaves, it was started to stop the succesion of the south which from what i see of the criminals we have as polotitions now and the raping of our constitution by the supreme court and the patriot act, makes it a damm shame.
Many of my relatives fought in the civil war.
I agree 100% ! Sorry if you misunderstood my belief on why the civil war was started. I was in no way saying it was all about slavery.
Slavery was a part of it but it is in NO way at its core.
It was a battle over state rights and in my book America is WAY worse off because the south lost ! I'm completly against the federal government telling states how to run their buisness.
I believe in equality for all 100% but I think the Fedral government has no right to do what they are doing now.
America died the day the states lost their rights ! It was the beginning of the end of what the constitution and the founding fathers wanted America to be.
It also began the ugly road of the American people losing most of their power and their country. B Franklin described America as a chess board. He said its easy to tell when there is cheating going on with 32 peices on the board. When the federal government gets to much power and control you have a chess board with a 1000 peices on it and you can tell if there is cheating going on.
Thats the way I veiw America also.
States are like small countrys, They were created to be ran as such. This way they compete against each other and the best ideas win out. Also, this way the people have more control, and they can see the corruption and stop it. Once the Federal government gets so Big and powerful, the People lose the ability to stop the corruption. The corruption grows like a weed with payoffs and 3000 page bills that our represenatives don't even read yet vote for it !
America is just like Rome. Before it fell, everyone was saying "Who will watch the watchers" Its the same here in America. When Big government grows the people suffer and they lose control of their country ! Its written in history time and time again.
Its weird how no one seems to grasp such a simple concept. Bigger is almost always worse ! It never lasts in any form of government or country. Its not possible to manage on a huge level and the peoples voices is always drowned out.
Still for some reason people think it can be done, but it will never be done without the people suffering from it in the long run.
So you see , I feel very strongly that the civil war wasn't just about slavery. Sorry if I didn't explain that better.
