Harry, we in the south fought the war of "states rights" not for the right to have slavery but against special interest that wanted a larger share of the world market in Cotton Goods (cloth). The export tariff on raw cotton killed the agrarian economy of the south. The first shot of the war was against a fort enforcing the tariff. Lincoln was trying to institute Federal policies that would have eliminated slavery SLOWLY. Paying for some to be repatriated to Africa and the rest given land as reparations for being forced into slavery. Much like the Union soldiers got as a mustering out. He was outvoted in Congress and the special interests forced a war on this country. After the war (as a popular president) he had plans to follow thru on his vision and was killed some say by other special interests who saw an opportunity to rape the South. In many cases the "Plantations" in the south were broken up into smaller plots and given to the slaves. You will find in researching the ownership of surviving "Plantations" that most were picked up by people or corporations from the north. True or not that is the prevailing opinion here in the south. While in the North (N.Y. State) I listened to news reports of a newly discovered Cemetery where multiple thousands of black children and adults were found in mass graves. Speculation was that they were from the "Industrial era" just after the Civil War where blacks including children were worked to death in factories and buried in mass graves (The Northern answer to slavery). While there is enough guilt to go around for both the North and the South, on neither side did the PEOPLE fight the War for the reasons attributed to them. The North fought to free the Slaves and the South fought against an overbearing government that wanted to destroy the economy of the south. Your education contains Cultural Bias Harry. |
