Slavery was the issue of the civil war. Read McPherson. The States Rights
stuff was used by the South to keep from having to argue the slavery question
since they obviously were in a morally bankrupt position. The South used the
States Rights argument again in the 1950s and 19960s to avoid the civil rights
issue. It didn't work that time either.

CTRL is a discussion and informational exchange list. Proselyzting propagandic
screeds are not allowed. Substance—not soapboxing! These are sordid matters
and 'conspiracy theory', with its many half-truths, misdirections and outright
frauds is used politically by different groups with major and minor effects
spread throughout the spectrum of time and thought. That being said, CTRL
gives no endorsement to the validity of posts, and always suggests to readers;
be wary of what you read. CTRL gives no credeence to Holocaust denial and
nazi's need not apply.
