[QUOTE="ChrisB2, post: 1661487, member: 39590"] From what I remember from reading the articles of succession, slavery was arguably the driving force. But, I always wondered how much people really knew back then on both sides. No internet to investigate on your own, no t.v. or radio presenting alternate views, mostly local or regional papers and word of mouth. As easy as it is currently to influence people into believing certain things. Maybe it would have been much easier back then? Also, it may just be the movies, but it seemed men were anxious to go to war back then. Maybe just fighting for regional or state pride. Maybe the reasons for the war were not the same reasons that got people to fight in it. [/QUOTE]
