19th Century Slavery Problems
19th Century Slavery Problems
During the Civil War, slaves were kept for work on farms to pick cotton and to blacksmith. Across the South, people argue that the Civil War was not about slavery, but about the state rights and “independence”. I disagree with the statement that the Civil War was about freeing slaves. Yes, slavery was a point of dispute, but the war was fought over state’s rights and the limits of federal power. The issue was not the fact that slavery was a thing, but who decided whether slavery was acceptable or not.
the Confederate States of America consisted of the governments of 11 Southern states that seceded from the Union in 1860-61, carrying on all the affairs of a separate government and conducting a major war
