"Slavery was cause of American Civil War." Do you agree or disagree? To what extent do you believe South went to war in defense of slavery (either explicitly or implicitly)? To what extent did North go to war to destroy it (explicitly or implicitly)? If you think slavery was cause, how do you describe proposed Curwin Amendment, or fact that not all slaveholding states seceded? If you believe it was not cause, how do you describe secession declarations, or fact whic hno non-slaveholding state seceded?
