[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 1054163, member: 22662"] If you read deep enough into history, it is easy to see that the war began long before the first shot. The federal government made a habit of passing intrusive and malicious laws designed to subjugate the southern states. I have no problem with the decision to secede. But then again, I don't bemoan the fact that the South lost the resulting war nor that the victors write the history. People choose their own battlefield of change. Sometimes they win, sometimes they lose. And yes, Lincoln used slavery as a rallying point. Kind of like, "They hate us for our freedoms." Stupid but effective. And had the North truly needed slavery at the end of the war, Lincoln could have skipped th Emancipation Proclamation. [/QUOTE]
