Actually, I do believe I'm a pretty reasonable guy, but I also know that the War of Northern Aggression was not fought by the South to continue slavery. The vast majority of Southerners did not own slaves and did not favor slavery. By the time the North invaded the South, slavery was in decline and would have ended anyway because it didn't make economic sense. No, the war was about the North's tendency to try to dictate to other folks how they were going to run their business, kinda like the revolutionary war was about the British telling the colonists how they were going to run their business...and kinda like liberals think they can tell the rest of us what to think and how we should handle our business. It's about freedom.
