Our civil war was not about freedoms, it was about states rights. The main reason this even came up was all the money the south was making selling cotton too Britain which at the time had a tremendous need for the textile industry. Washington (the Feds) wanted a piece of the pie and the south flatly refused. All wars are fought over money, but it sounds more noble to come up with reasons like slavery,freedoms, the union ,whatever. The emancipation proclamation was nothing more than the north needing more man power, so they made it so blacks good be in the army. In history if you can read between the lines of what governments are saying and what is actually happening, you can see there is a discrepancy.

Wrong statement. The US Congress stated in 1861 that the civil war was for preserving the unity of the country.
