Yes, that civil war part of all our long drawn history in extending equal rights to everyone the freedom and liberty of all human kind to live in the light of the Unified Field. It was just part of the long transcendentalist fight over materialism. Like we often see on FFL. Though MJ, I am glad that we can now agree on that cause in the ignorance underpinning the South's rebellion. What a lot of ignorance causing such trouble to extend equal rights to everyone.

It is clear from reading the entire document that the issue, the only issue was the right to practice slavery. Pure and simple. The document is called: Declaration of the Immediate Causes Which Induce and Justify the Secession of South Carolina from the Federal Union. http://avalon.law.yale.edu/19th_century/csa_scarsec.asp http://avalon.law.yale.edu/19th_century/csa_scarsec.asp
