A disgrace, saying the civil war was to abolish slavery is like saying WW2 was to save Jews, as if wars are ever that simple. So many more people have died and been enslaved under the Union flag and it's cherished by ignorant people.

That's because the Confederacy was only around for 4 years. Many more would have died and enslaved if they were around for as long.

Lol I just changed my status from Union to Confederate just for this

Maybe if the flag was put up for a different reason then it would not be as big of a deal. The flag was put up to defy the government during the Civil Rights period. Just Saying.

I think the most simple way to explain why the Civil War started was because of the slavery, or at least the most "humane". Instead of saying all the other stuff about the diferences between the North and the South.

Instead of banning a fucking flag, They should ban their retarded gun use for civilians, Might get somewhere then. Yanks.......

Pretty much yes. I would assume flags doesnt kill ppl, even in the hands of extremely stupid ppl. But guns on the other hand...

I disagree with you there. I don't think it was about slavery but about taxes and the Lincoln administration

Ctrl + F and type slavery, just to get an idea or actually read it....

[Nick Lazanis]

Yes,yes. But slavery would be naturally abolished in the next few years. It was used as an excuse in the war of northern aggression. And also most people did not have slaves. It was around 30%. For example Robert E. Lee had released his slaves years before the war. Patrick Cleburne wanted to abolish slavery but still fought for the South and his new home (He was Irish). There were also a lot of black* people that  fought for the South.
