  1. Got one wrong, although we could argue the last one. It is a legend that slavery was the primary issue of the civil war, It was more about economic freedom than slavery.

    • This is not a point of argument. The Civil War was strictly only fought over the issue of slavery; and absolutely nothing else. Leaders of the Southern States wanted to continue their inhumane slavery and they refused to follow the nation’s law in abolishing slavery. This resulted in war! Do read all about it in the history books.
