I happen to agree with “entwining slavery with secession.” Read the secession justifications–slavery is by far the major theme and its all over other writing in the South at the same time. As for John Brown, one man’s terrorist is another man’s freedom fighter. But the guy was definitely a nut.

But I agree, DISUNION is very busy entwining slavery with secession as if one, then again, here in South Carolina, many insist that slavery had noting to do with secession or the war. An interesting point to me is the hypocrisy evident in any generalization about the Civil War. Remember, abolitionists loved and funded John Brown, our nation’s first famous terrorist. Was that support in the best interest of a more perfect Union? Check out my blog next Tuesday for discussion of a similar topic: http://civilwarodyssey.blogspot.com
