Note: I am Most Definitely not a racist. Although these comments may make
me look that way.

Yes i am opposed to What Us Yankees did to the southerners during the civil
war,although not along those same lines, and after reading all of this You
might possible be opposed to what the Yankees did to the Southerners too.
Moral superiority was not the issue.
There were more reasons than the sugar coated version of the civil
war they teach and quote anymore. It was more than just slavery that was
the cause of the civil war. The differences with the slavery issue and the
north and the south was that the south was primarily big farms and thus
they needed the cheap labor, The north was mostly industry and didn't have
as much of a need for blacks to be second/no class citizens. IF the north
wasn't as industrial as it was and the south had more industrial the tides
would have been turned and the north would want slaves and the south
wouldn't.
Actually slavery was a more minor secondary reason for The civil
war but you won't find any "good" Yankee or post Civil rights movement
books even daring to mention that.
The main issue of the civil war was the Fact that the federal
Government was making decisions that it was not allowed to under the
Constitution of the United States, Regardless of the Slavery issue.
The Southern States Decided to protest the national Governments
overstepping of it bounds. The Federal government was overstepping it's
bounds by writing legislation that was not in the realm of powers
specifically granted to The national Government as defined in the
Constitution of the United State. Thus taking away power from the
individual States as all power not specifically given to the federal
government by the constitution are powers of the state.
The ultimate form of Protest as a sovereign State is to succeed from it's
larger Unit . Due to The federal Government forcing certain legislation
down the states throats they choose to succeed from the rest of the states
that were for this legislation.(not the Slavery issue either). It just so
happened that the north and south were the dividing line between the two
sides and also a division between major agriculture and Industrialization.
The Southern States had a right to succeed from the U.S. and as the
case was did not have the physical Power to succeed compared to the
industrialized north's war abilities. Does it make the south wrong because
they did not have the Power strong enough to fight off the north?
To this day any state in the U.S. has the right to succeed from the
nation as a whole as we are "sovereign States" that choose to follow the
rules and regulations IMPOSED upon us by the federal Government.
Before you go implying the main reason for a war look at what was
written about it from both sides of the fence and especially look at it
form a point of view prior to a period that would tend to sugar coat
history too it's own advantage. Also just so you know it is impossible to
find a "History" text book written in modern times that is not covered with
a thick coat of sugar.
The powers of the federal government were the reasons for the attempted
succession from the U.S. not the slavery issue as it is made out to be.
P.S. The times of the civil war is also a bad example to use as Women of
any skin color were the PROPERTY of men During the time of civil war. My
how the world has changed in so little time
