You don’t fight misinformation with more misinformation.
What misinformation? Please tell me how it wasn’t ultimately about slavery.
I think when we’re staring down civil war 2.0, it’s important for people to understand deeper than a single word, because a single word doesn’t explain why the war happened.
But again, slavery is exactly why the war happened. But if you wanted to get truly technical, the war was fought to preserve the Union. Preventing secession was the formal justification that North declared for going to war with the Confederacy.
Regardless, my main point is that every time a “Confederate/Rebel pride” person talks about the civil war not being about slavery, they inevitably bring up the whole state rights vs federal power debate to try and detract from it ultimately being about slavery.
