Der_Trihs:
And why did they want self government? What issue did they differ on? Slavery.
Slavery was why the Confederacy was created. Slavery by the time the Civil War came around had become an all-consuming issue for the South; every other aspect of their society was subordinated to slavery. Religion, politics, economy; everything. It was all about slavery, all other needs were subordinated to excusing and supporting slavery. Their entire society was just a machine for the support of slavery. I recall reading a quote from a congressman of the time comparing it to the Biblical plague of frogs; everywhere he turned, everywhere he looked there was slavery.
Thanks for helping! I appreciate it.
Guys, am I allowed to create apps to respond on these boards. See I can make one that responds to MOIDALIZE with the string ‘And that was directly based on slavery.’
Rats, now I have to ask the moderator another question.
