RE: Saying the Civil War was fought over slavery is like saying our current wars are fought to preserve freedom.
You're right. It was mainly over unjust taxation of the South, much like the Brits were doing to the Colonialist Americans. In other words, they were trying to control the Southerners.
I agree. I hate how history is being rewritten. I understand slavery is a dark and horrible spot in our history. But to destroy that history is sicker than the idea of slavery. The men who were fighting thought they were doing right, you can't judge the past with todays standards.
