To ground all southern sentiments in the defense of slavery is just as ignorant as grounding all in the right to defend a states rights platform...the issues are interwoven, and cannot be simply dismissed in a few sentences,,,I have spent decades studying how and why the Union broke up in 1861.....it would be impossible to give a clear synopsis here in this forum..from what I have read here today, I think a few of the responders could using a refresh course in American History.
