The South were evil oppressors and needed to be destroyed. Everything about their cause was backward and wrong, and like al evil it was eventually destroyed and things put right by the protectors of truth, freedom, and the american way.

I am not part of the discussion. I am here to mock you. Plus your side lost. Get over it.

Only by a ridiculed minority of abolitionists at the time. The North had no issues with slavery other than its expansion westward becuase of the unfair advantage of the 3/5ths clause and bercuase of the potential job loss should slavery be allowed to move west. Many northern states prohibited blacks from taking residence there becuase of the the inherent bigotry of Americans both in the North and South to blacks as well as the threat of job loss due to the cheap labor the blacks represented.

It still did not justify a war of aggression on them and the loss of 625k+ American lives.

Two word answer to this:

Western Expansion.

That's why it had to be preserved.

just about every major power eventually fractures and splits into separate places....history has shown us that the US will be no different....all the civil war did was delay the inevitable

Four score and seven years ago our fathers brought forth on this continent, a new nation, conceived in Liberty, and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal.


Now we are engaged in a great civil war, testing whether that nation, or any nation so conceived and so dedicated, can long endure. We are met on a great battle-field of that war. We have come to dedicate a portion of that field, as a final resting place for those who here gave their lives that that nation might live. It is altogether fitting and proper that we should do this.

.

.

.

It is rather for us to be here dedicated to the great task remaining before us -- that from these honored dead we take increased devotion to that cause for which they gave the last full measure of devotion -- that we here highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain -- that this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom -- and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth.
