Being a hard Leftist over the years I have had many debates with Southerners about the Civil War and its causes and results…..about 20 years ago I was arguing with a guy from Louisiana about what the war was all about……of course I brought up slavery and he brought up states rights, the traditional argument of racists, and finally he said the Civil War was an economic war….that it was all about economics nothing else…….

I had to agree with him and said it was that the South did NOT want to pay the help…….needless to say that lead to more heated debate intertwined with insults and insults…….

Now the debate is what does the “Stars and Bars” really stand for….heritage or racism…….and now that question has been answered….

This paragraph should leave no doubt that the Civil War was about slavery – Vox.
