    it wasn’t that they wanted to keep slaves they just wanted the option to allow it

    yes even having it in the constitution that slavery could never be outlawed or limited, and all the leaders of the confederacy said it was the reason for leaving, and the articles of secession saying it it was only states rights!

    God I hate how lightly the south was treated after losing and was allowed to paint it in a good light years later.
