[QUOTE="OKgetdown, post: 1508902, member: 3742"] For something that defined the future of the republic, The Civil War sure gets oversimplified in history class and normal conversation. So much to it. As for the question at hand.....yes, the South had valid points in states rights. But I think history has proven that preserving the union was correct. And the question of slavery WAS NOT something that Lincoln or the north was willing to go to war over. The northerns were just as social conscience of race as southerners. The real question was the expansion of slavery into the future western territories and how that would effect economic competition if there were two or more countries. But thats hard to oversimplify into a few paragraphs for history class....... Or at least thats my take of it... [/QUOTE]
