The reason many southern states seceded was due to the fact the rich land owners there who made up the governing as well as the plantation class were afraid they were going to lose their slaves. The north would not allow secession for any reason, and thus the war was fought. Your average southerner who did the fighting could care less about the human property at the time of rich land owners, but make no mistake that is exactly what caused the war. Well that and the fact the north refused to allow the Union to be split.

Ahh.. Jr. schooling all us old timers about what he learned in history class last week. I’m sure it’s correct. They haven’t rewritten history for political purposes at all.

tell me what I said that was wrong? This is the very beginning of South Carolinas declaration of secession,

“ [T]he State of South Carolina having resumed her separate and equal place among nations, deems it due to herself, to the remaining United States of America, and to the nations of the world, that she should declare the immediate causes which have led to this act….

[A]n increasing hostility on the part of the non-slaveholding States to the institution of slavery, has led to a disregard of their obligations, and the laws of the General Government have ceased to effect the objects of the Constitution.”

South Carolina was the first state to secede btw and their major issue seems pretty clear…
