I have studied considerably on the subject of the War for Southern Independence and how the matter of slavery became tethered to that war. The majority of Confederate soldiers were not slave-holders, nor did they regard their part in the war as having to do with slavery except as an ancillary matter over which the central government was treading upon their Tenth Amendment rights.

Have you found your readings to uphold what this commentator states: “Unfortunately the victor gets to rewrite history. The Civil War was about far more than slavery. A true conservative would stand much closer to the confederates than the north. But the educational system has rewritten history to tell us that the Civil War was only about slavery.”

Thanks!
