Was the War Between the States just or unjust? What is your view?
you have a strange opinion about warfare,the rules are there are no real rules,the civil awr was about MONEY and slavery was the excuse,the south provided the much needed cotton the northern factory's needed for textiles,but they only payed what they wanted to pay,the southerners didn't have much choice except to accept whet they would pay,then came the british and french and italians,you see the Industrial revolution was going strong over there and they needed the cotton for there industry's.so they offered higher prices for the cotton,well if you haven't guess by now the northern industrialist didn't like competing with foreign bidders and proceeded to try to regulate the export amounts the southern states could sell.leaving a vast amount for them selves to buy at low prices.the southern states wasn't going to let it happen so they argued about FREE trade in congress,but were out numbered by northern politions,so they said good by,we will sell to who we want to and as much as we want to,then walked out,the northern states didnt have the cotton resorces needed to produce the goods they wanted to sell.so they decided to inflame public opinion to justaify war with the south and they used the conscience of northern people to urge them to fight,and that cause was SLAVERY.the north burned almost every thing they came to,they stole peoples food supplies and left them to starve and freeze in the cold.they d and pillaged every thing in sight,actualy the south didnt resort to those tactics.there were some groups that did some of the same things the whole union army did.but it was a very small scale.,now days i hear people say (i wish we had picked our own cotton)any how history can be revised to say anything some people want it to say.and not nessearly the truth either
