      Because we have folks who lived through it still alive along with relatives and they all say it was about race.

      Also if you look at the cause and the reason behind it you can know without a doubt it was ALL about race.

        Pfffft, next thing you’ll tell us is that the civil war was about slavery just because just about every secession document stated as much.

            This is a common misconception.

            The south didn’t actually like states rights, and expressly forbid confederate states from ever banning slavery. All because Northern States chose to ban slaver in an ad hoc manner.
