Oh don't get me wrong, I am totally completely against slavery. I'm just saying that it's not fair to say that the South was solely responsible for the problem. They were pretty much backed into the corner. And most of the people who fought didn't care one way or another about slavery itself, they were just protecting their homes and families. It really needn't have come to war at all. The North could have helped the South develop an economy that wasn't dependent on slavery, but to do so would have jeopardised their position as the economic power in the country.
