Lincoln's Republican Party destroyed the Republic of our Founders and created the huge, powerful, centralized, overbearing government we have today. The Confederacy was fighting to keep that which was won by colonial blood against the British. The right to self-govern was destroyed by Lincoln.

We never hear about the more than 429,000 slaves that were in the Union during the War, yet the Yankees have tried to make the war all about "freeing the slaves", which it wasn't.

Had the Southern States not voted in favor of the 13th Amendment it never would have passed. Northern bills to end slavery during the War failed to pass.
