Ok here's a little history lesson for ya!!!

The civil was NOT fought over slavery, as some people would like to belive. Here's the scoop.

The south was trading with Europeian nations, because they could get better quality goods for cheaper than the Northern factories could provide. So stop this, the North raised the import tax to they highest in US history. Then the south LEGALY succeded. The only way for the north to get it's money was to force the south back into the union. If succesion was illegal, why was Jefferson Davis never tried on criminal charges???? Do you want to know why the history of the civil war is like it is? It's because the north wrote the history!!!

People have this idea that all southern people owned slaves. This couldn't be farther from the true. Only about 2% of the southern population owned slaves and less than 1% owned more than 3. A slave was several thousand dollars. Only the VERY rich could afford hundreds of slaves. That would be like my owning 300 Porches.
