Yeah, that’s bullshit. Slavery was the one and only cause of the decades


Of tension beginning with the drafting of the Constitution all the way up to Lincoln’s election. Ostensibly fans of the “Lost Cause” myth like to scream about states’ rights…but the only right the South felt a need to go to war and secede in order to preserve was the right to hold human beings in bondage. If the South had ended the “peculiar institution” as northern states had in the early 1800s, there would not have been a Civil War.
