There are many ways of approaching things and ridicule more often than not leads to more separations and ultimately bloodshed. Anyone who has studied human history and evolution for a significant period of time should recognise this.
You seem to be claiming that ridicule of slavery led to the civil war. Presumably your contention is that the proximate cause of the war (South Carolina's secession) was caused by ridicule of slavery. Can you support that contention with facts? The USA was the only country that had a war over slavery, but it was also the only country that was divided into slave and non-slave regions that had additional conflicting interests.
