As was the second issue. And the third. I saw an 11AM show sitting in the front row. The people who most want us to think the civil war was a complex series of issues with slavery as a side issue have allegiances to the South. They really don't want to be considered blatant racists who would? Why some northerners fall for that shell game is anyone's guess. Its about an economic system based on white people owning and enslaving black people. You can throw in as many red herrings as you want not too many people are going to be fooled.
