Slavery was about 99% of what drove the entire thing, so it makes sense to me.
I think it’s a better name. My only issue is that it is an even better name for what happened in Haiti, where the enslaved rose up, defeated their masters, got revenge, and formed a nation.
I wish the nation was more of a success today, but it should still be celebrated as a victory for humanity.

Me too. You can mostly thank the US and especially France for that tbh. They both extorted Haiti for a debt of lost “property” owed to France. And by “property” I mean formerly enslaved human beings! That shit went on for 122 years and the first annual payment “owed” was of SIX TIMES the annual revenue of Haiti! 🤬

Don’t forget that the south was trying to force the north ro send back escaped slaves, depite the north using their states rights to say no. The south would also send Bounty hunters to go kidnap free born black people to sell into slavery. So yeah, states rights was an issue. The right to identify people as human.
But let’s not also forget that the confederate constitution had a passage that says that there will not be any laws capable of being passed that infringe on the right to own black people
Article I Section 9(4) No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law denying or impairing the right of property in negro slaves shall be passed
I’m surprised it’s not called the States’ Rights War.
Because only confed apologists use that term, and to my knowledge there are no confed apologists in Iceland.
Not true. It’s still listed as such in most textbooks in the south.🙄
Yes, like I said:
only confed apologists use that term
Yes, as well as every kid that trusts their teacher before having the ability to form their own opinion.
The primary context of your link is very old history textbooks.
Interesting. It didn’t even end Slavery in the US tho
What??
Probably referring to
Essentially allowing slavery.
