[QUOTE="ChrisB, post: 921326, member: 122"] I wonder how many people really knew what they were fighting for. Look how the media tries to distort news today where we have many different sources for obtaining news where with a little research we can hopefully find the truth. Can you imagine back then when people were getting news from a single source and it took weeks to get it? I would really suggest that people read the southern states declarations of sucession. But then maybe these historical documents have been edited by those dang yankees. Sure there were more underlying issues than you will read in a grade school textbook, but saying that 'the winners get to write the history books' is bordering on the absurd. How come over the last 150 years there has never been a big push to have the "real truth" come out? Maybe the people actually fighting in the war had different reasons, but poitically it is pretty evident that it was about the rights of states to own slaves. [/QUOTE]
