You are a closet Aggy if there ever was one

You and me,
together in perfect harmony,
side by at an Aggy game woowee,
Why can’t we?

Surprisingly, it's a debated topic (which surprised me in college). At A&M, one of our professors swore that many southerners knew slavery was wrong and that it was just a matter of time before it was outlawed by them (south). The only reason they seceded was because they wanted to have their states abolish slavery on their own terms. Basically, "state rights".

The two easiest ways to point out to anyone who wants to argue this are:

1) Read each state's declaration of secession.
2) Read the Confederate States of America's Constitution. A few snippets:

quote:

---

In all such territory the institution of negro slavery, as it now exists in the Confederate States, shall be recognized and protected be Congress and by the Territorial government; and the inhabitants of the several Confederate States and Territories shall have the right to take to such Territory any slaves lawfully held by them in any of the States or Territories of the Confederate States.

quote:

---

No bill of attainder, ex post facto law, or law denying or impairing the right of property in negro slaves shall be passed.

No.

But then another history professor said the exact opposite and that the war was definitely about slavery. Apparently, modern revisionists like to water down the horrific intentions of the south.

Yes.


Like Mr Peck and Mr Bird said, just look at the Confederate's actual published documents and speeches. To deny that slavery was the main driver behind the CW means you have to pretend that none of that stuff exists.
