I'm from the South now in TX. The war was about the fact the South had their own currency, set up their own banking system backed by gold, and they were tired of paying huge taxes. They wanted to sucede from the USA gov. word got out what the South was up to and the gov. attacked the South. The devastation done to the people in the South was nearly genocide. Lincoln was hated for attacking his own people, so he used the story of we went to war to free the slaves which was a very small number.
Does anyone see a pattern here? Regime change. The set up for the Federal Reserve....
