Eh, there were much bigger issues to southern states than slavery that led to the civil war.

Wowzers, when you want to make a whale of a proposition like that, it's usually pretty prudent to try to substantiate it in SOME way. Wtf kind of half-assed obtuse shite is this? Please go read Alexander Stephens' 'Cornerstone Speech,' and then come back and try to tell me and everyone else that there were "much bigger issues." The Confederate $100 bill has a picture of slaves on it, for shite's sake. I don't like wading into all that PC shite, but historical facts are historical facts. Giving these half-assed equivocations about what the war was "really about" makes folks look like intellectually dishonest pussies imo. I've lived in the South all my life, but I'm not going to try to whitewash my state's history to feel better about myself or some shite.
