It’s easy to view history through an oversimplifying lens—a phenomenon which often happens with the United States Civil War. Generalizations might proclaim, for example, that all Confederates were white Anglo-Saxons who wholeheartedly opposed both change and the American constitutional order.

It is true that the Confederacy would not have come into its brief existence without widespread white support for racialized slavery, which its own vice president called the cornerstone of the rebellion. Yet these broad strokes paint over finer detail. The truth is, as always, more complicated. There are shades of gray among those who wore it.

The page includes a photograph of President Tyler. Since so many LV authors and commenters are 'liberal' wackos, always good to see somebody busting PC there. Comments below the article have a very low idiocy content, considering.

The real reason the southern states seceded was State's Rights. Slavery was not an issue until Lincoln wrote the Emancipation Proclamation in 1863. By that time the Union was in dire straights and had changed Commanders several times. ;)

Really? Think of that!

The idea there were any actual legit grounds for the yankee assault just keeps getting more preposterous. I guess ameriKans were already that much more jewed than Brazil et al.

Remember also that Lincoln spurned the usury of the European bankers and printed Greenbacks to finance the war.

This put a bullseye on his back and I believe John Wilkes Booth was an agent of theirs. ;)

I've heard -- and I believe -- the war took place because the Rothschilds decided in a London boardroom that ameriKa was getting too big, powerful and independent that it would have to be broken in two. Being total perverts, they no doubt backed both sides, propagated that form of nIgGeR supremacy laughably called Reconstruction, bought up vast bounty property in the prostrate South and all that good stuff.
