I have a degree in history myself. As far as the South seceded over slavery and slavery only. I don't care either way, I just know that it's untrue.

The southerners definitely were ready to toss our nation of beloved memories so they could continue to get their bread from the sweat of other men's faces.

That is the real deal.

One of the bullshite things you hear from the ignorant is how could the war be about slavery when most southern soldiers didn’t own slaves?

The antebellum south was rigidly caste like. And the poor whites were at the very bottom of the heap – only having the black slaves below -them-. They were willing to join the army and fight so as to keep the social order as it was. But as a newly minted black soldier told some captured confederates: “Bottom rail on top now.”
