The South fought for freedom from a more and more encroaching federal government and the North fought to keep them in the Union and the abolition of slavery was really just a byproduct of the South losing. Personally, I think the South should have been allowed to leave in peace.
Was the South Right?

LMAO. What a load of rubbish. Yes, the South was right. Yep, packing Klan members on all the juries to ensure that fellow Klansmen got let go.
True, the Civil War was not fought mainly over slavery. However, in the North, black citizens were free. Underground Railroad, people?
The South went "Red" (Republican) due to the Civil Rights Act being signed. They never got over black people getting equal rights. They aren't still bitter today over some lame taxation policy implemented all those many centuries ago.
The South is a backwards place, and IMO, should have been allowed to secede. They've been nothing but trouble since day one, and are a pox on the entire country. Cut them off, and the place wouldn't survive two seconds. Let them teach their creationism, and stone people. What's hilarious is that they depend more on the federal government than the rest of the US. They also have the lowest IQs.
