So This Fucking Moron Is On The School Board In Colorado

[Heywood]

Eh the southernors loved their free worker society, and wanted people to leave them alone. They didn't voluntarily do anything, except finally surrender. They even threw a tantrum when they lost the presidential election and seceded from the union. They even made their own confederate flag and government.
I agree with Min
The Union Army is who freed the slaves, therefore its not voluntary in the least. What I'm posting here is what I was taught in school. It rings true that more than one thing started the war, and only a gun to their head would stop it, because of how dependent upon slaves the southern culture was.

You have your own perspective...and I don't see anything wrong with your perspective....but yours isn't the only valid perspective. I already gave one perspective that I also think is valid.....but here is another.

Slavery was ended voluntarily in the North. And the South seceded. So technically...Slavery in the United States had ended voluntarily.

The United States then forced another country....the Confederate States....to end slavery. So yeah...Lincoln and the Union Army freed the slaves.....but slaves of another country. When the Southern States were re-admitted to the United States they were now slave free.

There are a lot of ways to look at things....look at Chuck and Chas arguing about the point of the civil war.

Organization like Rawstory and its brainwashed hate zombies like Minimalist don't care about other valid perspectives. They simply want to try to make you hate the same people they hate.

edit: whoops...just remembered that not all slave states seceded...so this other perspective is not historically accurate....sorry.
