Don't get me wrong Steve, love civil war history both sides. In the end the south had a bunch of rich fools that convinced the rest to fight and die for them.
Course that was a way of life and slavery existed under the US flag for a lot longer than it did the south and we know the slaves didn't get real freedom under the north. Had the north been a agriculture state, I'm sure they would've wanted slaves themselves.
A sad war, but I guess needed at the time.
