Yes quite an inthroling idea (h/e u spell that) civil wars always baffle me, if u both live in the same country, then u both are fighting two sides of the same force WTF.

Actually Shades, history is one thing I do take interest in. And the equality of African Americans was just an excuse for the real reason. A cover up if you will.
Lincoln and the American government in the 1800's believed it was cheaper to set someone free, and let them fend for themselves then it would be to feed them, house them, cloth them. Which is what the South had to do. The Union didn't like the idea of having to spend money on people.
The reason the Confederacy fought back was because they wanted to have the right to decide how they would govern themselves without the intrusion of the north. Lincoln didn't want the south to rise against him, he wanted to control the south, and spend less money. So the two forces went to war. One side fighting for the right to govern themselves the way they wanted, and the other using slavery as an excuse when they really wanted to just spend less money.
However, I am not saying slavery is good. It is horrible and no person should have a master. I am glad all slaves were set free, however, the events that took place to do so could have been dealt with in a different manner.
Now what really pisses me off, is that after African Americans were granted the right of Citizenship, Native Americans were not. We had to wait much longer for that.

It doesn't matter when this convo. is finished Ill repost the beginning and delete all this. I relize that aswell, i wanna be an archeologist when i come of age, I agree with you, but it isn't as clean cut and dry as u make it seem, alot more then that transpired, but i trust that you were giving me the short version, w/e only american history i really care about is when canada kicked america's ass and burnt down the original white house when america tried to invade canada, and we pushed america down to the gulf of mexico, lol.
