slavery is a minute part of the civil war, trippster. although it was tagged the 'war to end slavery' with the signing of the emanciapation proclamation, it was given that coverage to dissuade Britain from intervening on the side of the Confederacy. still, i in no way mean to degrade the image of Abraham Lincoln, he was an abolitionist since day one. point being, slavery has as much to do with the civil war as much as terrorism has to do with the war in iraq.
