TX schools will now teach that Civil War was all about slavery!!!

There weren't, and slavery persisted. And most of the whites in the South didn't own slaves, they just thought they were superior to slaves and were willing to commit treason to defend that idea. And they only thought that because rich, white Southerners told them as such.

Kinda like how rich, white Southerners tell you things about different groups today, and you pick up that banner and run with it because it makes you feel good about being such a loser.


There may have still been a war when the north insisted on placing tariffs on Europe to help their industries grow at the expense of the south who relied on the european cotton markets.

The South relied on slave labor to fill the demand of the cotton markets. So the premise of your "what if" can't even hold water.


he north would literally have destroyed the south economically slaves or no.

Maybe you should take that less as a warning and more as an enlightenment that the South was, and continues to be, a bunch of underachieving moochers and lazy racist assholes?

What "tenets"? What are you talking about?

that every article, section, and clause of the constitution dictates what branch of the new government it applies to, what the makeup and organization of that branch is comprised of, and what powers are delegated to it. Those 'tenets'.

1. the 2nd Amendment is not IN the CONSTITUTION.
2. the 2nd Amendment does not GIVE us our right to bear arms, it tells the federal government that it 'shall not be infringed'.
3. The Bill of Rights is NOT the US Constitution.

got that, einstein?

Every single constitutional amendment becomes part of the constitution, EINSTEIN

So the specific state right that was in conflict was the right to have slaves.

So how is slavery not the root cause?

Everything always comes back to slavery when it comes to the Civil War.

It was the root cause which I clearly stated. But that cause had to do with the expansion of slavery and whether those new states could have slaves was a states' rights issue. I never suggested they wanted states' rights to apply equally to other states, they were primarily interested in their own interests. I simply claimed there were interrelated issues.

The war was fought to preserve the union, not end slavery.

What constitutional amendment did not become part of the Constitution? (It is not a constitutional amendment unless it has been proposed and ratified).

Sounds like the Union reasoning, not the secessionists.

Lot of insults but you didn't answer the question. What constitutional amendment(s) that were proposed and ratified did not become part of the Constitution? You are the one who claimed "...not how it works..."
