Was the South justified?

We all know the victors write the history books. Was the South justified? Was it all about slavery or breaking away from tyrannical federalists like the Brits have just done?

It was about states' rights and proper representation.

Yes, the south was justified in seceding.

The war was an affront to a properly mandated secession.

Texas should've went west, ignoring the other 12 states.

I hear ' Westward expansion' was actually one of the most important causes. Can an American explain this to me?

More land and resources.... how is this a difficult concept?

Fucking frenchfags.

But I don't get why that would cause a rift between northern states and southern states? Surely both were going west anyway.

ILLUMINATI CONFIRMED

There's one difference...

Unlike the Confederates we're going to win.

It was over whether or not those new lands would have slavery or not.

Nah, the south were just faggots who believed in an outmoded and exploitative form or agrarian economy. They were rightly defeated by the rising industrial values, equity, and wealth of the north. The worst thing is that so many southern states are still so butthurt and moaning.

South split away over slavery, not states rights. This will make Dixieboos furious, and I used to believe it agree with them, before I started looking at newspapers published in the Confederacy during the War, during which they're basically stating up front the war is about slavery.

That being said slavery would have been abolished sooner or later anyway, and abolition was so poorly conducted historically that around a quarter of slaves died of starvation.

Considering that close to a million people died in the war and it would have set the principle that states could leave the union peacefully due to irreconcilable political differences, I think that the South should have been allowed to leave.
