"The War Was Not Fought Over Slavery"

"What was the reason that induced Georgia to take the step of secession? This reason may be summed up in one single proposition. It was a conviction, a deep conviction on the part of Georgia, that a separation from the North-was the only thing that could prevent the abolition of her slavery. This conviction, sir, was the main cause."

Speech made on February 18th, 1861 by future Confederate General Henry "Rock" Benning
