Different lovers of southern culture took away different learning from the bloodiest war in U.S. history. I respect my ancestors for defending their land and culture but do not support the institution of slavery.

I'm afraid we're headed for a revolution in America. The basic cause is inequality of wealth, justice and power.
Viva the revolution!:rolleyes:

Most of the Confederate soldiers did not support the institution of slavery. Most of the Union army did not oppose the institution of slavery. Those points are lost in modern history books. Ok,cool almost lost his army after he issued the emancipation proclamation.
Most soldiers in any war are not fighting for a cause but either because they got drafted or went into the army simply to get a job.

Research the New York City draft riots which took place in 1863, two years after the start of the Civil War. The draftees refused to be drafted to fight a war that only lined the pockets of the northern industrialists. It was not until after the riots that Lincoln changed the narrative to "oh, it's all about slavery, not making the industrialists even richer."

By the way, the Emancipation Proclamation only freed the slaves in the states that were in rebellion. It left the 500,000 slaves in the slave-holding border states (Missouri, Kentucky, Maryland or Delaware) which were Union states, still bound in slavery. By the way, check the date on the Emancipation Proclamation. January 1, 1863. It was an attempt to head off the pending Draft Riots of July 1863. Even a backwoods hick like Lincoln could see them coming.
Lincoln was born in Hodgenville, Ky but he was no backwoods hick.
