Southerners fought a literal war to keep a whole race enslaved.


So the armies of Delaware, Maryland, and Kentucky fought to keep their slaves until after the war ended, and you think the south fought for slavery?

They did. Every Articles of Secession from the Confederate states mentioned slavery. Know what words were not in any of them? States' rights.


And yes, there was slavery in the North. The North wasn't fighting to end slavery. They were fighting to protect the Union. This is middle school level American history that the South has misconstrued since Reconstruction.
