In actuality the US has an issue of invading nations to steal their resources, I love this land but the truth is the truth. The United States attacked the Confederate States to control us and to steal our precious resources. That is it. Slavery was not at all what the war was fought over. In fact, the commander of the Confederate Army was against slavery. The ONLY reason he left the United States military to fight for the South was because the United States of America invaded his state and started slaughtering his people. Who needs facts though, right?
