Slavery was not the only issue the South was fighting for.
One of the biggest ideals was "state's rights", rights to be able to own people as "property" which was guaranteed by the constitution. Then the south separated as the US constitution seemed to have allowed at the time to continue the ability to own people as nothing more than property. This seems to have been forgotten (or never learned) by most and now it's all just about "racism." Which is narrow minded. This is what a crappy government education and MSM gets you. FIFY

I'm neutral on this topic because I don't really think it matters, but
Aren't both these things about slavery? lol
