Re: Wayward sisters, depart in peace

"Go find some real facts that someone in charge either North or South that said we are going to war to free the slaves then I'll believe you."

Again, the South left the Union because they were deturmined to keep slavery as they knew it. They did not want the Northern Repubican Party to free slaves, educate them, have them equalized with the White race, and have them voting, passing laws in the halls of Congress...The North was not going to let the South go, and create a new country, in defiance of what was already set up.
Firing on Ft. Sumpter showed how militant the South was going to be to deal with in the future,and the Northern folk realized that it wasn't going to be peacfull!

I have never changed my possition on this.

Unlike you, I have no (real or imagined) sworn sacred duty to uphold the South (or the North) for their reasons for the war. I read the soldiers diaries, I read the political speeches, I see what the newspapers of the time say… I'm able to look at both sides, and draw my conclusions. If you don't like what I come up with, so be it.
