The south said ‘it’s about slavery’ as often and as clearly as possible.
People saying ‘it wasn’t about slavery’ are entirely wrong. Regardless of what Lincoln said. Pounding the table about what Lincon said is a misleading horseshit argument regardless of whether its claims are factual. It’s not fucking relevant. The issue is: the south started a war, and they started that war over slavery.
“Your actions are morally wrong.”
“Well that’s just name-calling.”
Incorrect.
You’ll find historians agreeing since Lincoln was pretty upfront about it.

Yes slavery was certainly part of it and if you can point to where I said it’s not about slavery I’d love to see it.
It seems to me you and a few others here have seen what you wanted in my comments rather than what was actually said.

Ok, point to where I said it was not about slavery I will wait sir.
That is the norths perspective as written by contemporaries like uhh Lincoln who I quoted. Cool, it doesn’t make sense.
Idiot on Facebook: “The sun goes around the Earth!”
You: “Well he’s not entirely wrong, because bodies orbit the centroid between blah blah blah–”
One hundred people of varying politeness: “That’s not what he meant and you fucking know it.”
You: “Well here’s a really smart guy talking about centroids–”
Ten exasperated follow-ons: “That’s not what he meant, and you fucking know it.”
You: “Point to where I agreed with anything he said.”
A few diehard troll-hunters: “Where you said ‘he’s not entirely wrong.’”
You: “… yeah but what do words really mean, anyway?”
Stop talking.
Historians can be assholes too
Yes and so can chefs that doesn’t mean what a chef makes isn’t food.
And a chef can put a turd on a plate, but that doesn’t make it food.
Never heard of 2nd harvest?
