The civil war had nothing to do with slavery. It was about states rights...to do slavery.
Maybe they were like "You can do slavery, but only because we say you can, not because you have the right to"
The states rights to force others to support their slavery
One of my friends from the South said it best. "Some children learn about the Civil War, and some children learn about 'The War of Northern Aggression'."
If only we were more aggressive against those inbred aristocratic planter fucks we'd have solved a lot of problems we have today.
"The War That Had Nothing To Do With Slavery."
That's either next week's Onion storyline or a law that will be passing through congress the week after... it's difficult to tell these days.
I personally know it as "The war of reactionary butthurt southerners"
