    The reason for the Civil War was from Northern Aggression. The Civil War had nothing to do with slavery, since the north had slaves and the south bought most of their slaves from the north. The only difference is that their slaves didn’t work in fields (just factories and homes). They were also educated up north. They weren’t educated down south because a lot of wealthy slave owners weren’t educated. The north wanted the south’s warm summers, luscious crops, and laid back lifestyle. The south didn’t want to change and still doesn’t like change. Therefore, it would be ignorant to say that the south was about slavery. Also most slaves in the south fought for the south. When they were "freed", they returned to the same life they had before. They were not beaten on a regular basis like "Roots" depicted. There are only two recorded cases of slaves being beaten. Sound crazy, but see if you can find more yourself. The price of a slave is the equivalent of buying a car today. If your car doesn’t start are you going to beat it up. Slaves were also sold out by their own people to the United States and other countries around the world. I too disagree with slavery and how the north has written only their side of the story. Anyone who says anything different is considered a racist bigot. Not the case. The south is the most desired place to live in the US. That is why year after year, their cities are known as the fastest growing in the nation. Not much has changed. Now people from all over the world look for the southern lifestyle, get here then try to change it. Just doesn’t make sense. I am proud to say, "I am American by birth, and Southern by the Grace of God". I don’t like slavery, but the rest of the south is as good as it gets. Don’t believe me come check it out for yourself.
