It is not moot at all. The Civil War was about who's brand of slavery was going to win.
Sorry fren, but your ancestors were conned into supporting an evil cause. They were motivated to fight and die to maintain a caste system where even the poorest white non-slaveowner, was still a racially superior class over any black, enslaved or free, didn't matter. A nation cannot invade itself. Lincoln, a constitutionally elected President (despite 10 slave states illegally barring Republican Electors from being on the ballot), did what the massive puss puppet Buchanan wouldn't do... Lincoln had balls and defended the Constitution against insurrection and rebellion that was started by butthurt, sore loser, slave-loving Democrats and their ex-Whig "popular sovereignty" tolerating faggots who like modern-day "pro-choice" abortion allies argued "if you don't like slavery, don't own a slave." They saw the writing on the wall. The Republicans won. The free soil party (ban the extension of slavery) took power. The only next logical step, was the rise of outright abolitionism. Race-based chattel slavery was doomed. Tic tok, tic tok. So what did they do? Engaged in actual traitorous insurrection and rebellion by deposing duly elected state officials, storming and taking control of United States military and civil installations (arsenals, forts, post offices), violating the constitutional rights of loyal US citizens and depriving them of a republican form of state government. Oh, and that was all BEFORE LINCOLN WAS INNAGURATED.
It's appalling to see so many professed Patriots on these boards, still promoting Lost Cause propaganda bullshit that Democrats pushed on the US, primarily southern, education system for the past 150 years.
Do you mean like how the British invaded the American colonies/states during the American Revolution?
Either people have a right to break free of a government they do not agree with, or they do not. American Revolution and Civil War were the same issue. But most people take opposite sides.
Slavery was and still is an evil institution. It existed for thousands of years, and continues to exist today.
But the issue of a people having the right to break free and form their own government is also an important issue, and Lincoln was wrong on that one.
