...Yeah, different ideas regarding slavery. oOo:
Unfortunately TRIPS - you are wrong here. . .we like to romanticize the Civil as being about Slave Rights. . .but it wasnt. . .it was about States Rights vs Federal Rights. . .slavery just happened to be rolled into all that as part of the debates that led up to the Civil War. . .
