[QUOTE="BrownFlush, post: 5789152, member: 65823"] Haley told the truth about what the civil war was over. Yankees just parrot what they were told in grade school. The northern aggression tried and succeeded in painting it about "freeing the slaves" to come out "noble". They were anything but noble. Anyone with a rational mind knows that the War had nothing to do with slavery. Proof can be found in the proposed Corwin Amendment, by Congressman Thomas Corwin of Ohio who authored, with the help of other notable Radical Republicans the Constitutional Amendment that would have FOREVER prohibited the abolition of slavery if the seceded states would but rejoin the union and ratify the amendment. The South refused. Why? If it wanted to protect slavery you would think the South would have jumped on this. Besides this, the Crittendon-Johnson Resolution stated that the war was not for the “purpose of overthrowing or interfering with the rights or established institutions of those states”. States rights, baby. Freedom, baby. Freedom. [/QUOTE]
