Someone very dear to me is a history/civil war buff so I just sent him an email asking some questions. I know he'll give me facts and not supposition. It's my understanding that the Confederacy was born out of the South wanting state's rights and not because they wanted to continue being able to own slaves. Only the very rich owned slaves but it wasn't the very rich fighting. Do I understand that correctly?
