the more i see this the more i see the elements that went into seeding the Civil War- if you read the Battle Cry of Freedom its a incredible primer on the philosphies movitivations and States of mind that went into the Nation diving so severely that it descended into a civil war;
it took almost 50 years since the war of 1812 ...90 from the Declaration of Independance for the factions to become so despised and mistrustful of one another that they came to arms
the same language they used then they are using now....
The South lost the war but racism never went anywhere. Politicians realized other countries were abolishing slavery and it would have looked bad if they didnt abolish it too whether they liked it or not.
