Please let me know when you get to the part that indicates you know what the Civil War was about.

So far, you've only listed reasons why a number of the southern states seceded from the union.

The Civil War was about slavery.

Incorrect.

Would you like to try again?

Nope. South Carolina gave us their reasoning. I'll take their word for it.

Do some research.  You seem to enjoy doing it, provided that your "findings" fit your agenda.  Try moving out of your comfort zone for once, and see if you can figure out why you're wrong here.

I'll off to play golf.  I'll check back tonight to see if you have any updates on your findings.

Oh ok. So you don't know. You just know the civil war definitely wasn't fought over slavery.

I was a simple-minded **** at one time.   I thought the Civil War was about slavery.   And the first time I saw anyone wearing a Confederate shirt, I thought "Wow.  That's pretty racist(except I didn't know what racist meant, I just thought it would offend all black people so I didn't have a specific word).   But then I took the time to educate myself. 

I was in first or second grade so the resources were far more limited than they are today.    There's really no reason for a grown man to be so stupid. 

The Civil War was fought over economics........the economics of slavery
The flag is a symbol of TRAITORS!

Simplistic viewpoint from the simple-minded.

"THE CIVIL WAR WAS OVER SLAVERY AND THE CONFEDERATE FLAG IS RACIST!!!"

The fact is Mikey that truth is just that simple.

In a truly just world everone who served in the confederate army should have been tried as a traitor and hung.
