It’s wild to me how persistent the lost cause mythology is considering the articles of succession from the traitor states are all out there in the open to be read by anyone at any time. I suppose that requires literacy and an understanding of what a primary source is. Easier to get some bullshit regurgitated into your mouth like a baby bird.
Exactly. “it’s not so black and white” when the motivations behind it all were indeed, printed in black and white and very much about black and white people at that.
The General Government, as the common agent, passed laws to carry into effect these stipulations of the States. For many years these laws were executed. But an increasing hostility on the part of the non-slaveholding States to the institution of slavery, has led to a disregard of their obligations, and the laws of the General Government have ceased to effect the objects of the Constitution.
It was a hundred percent about slavery, the entire time, and any “states’ rights” or “heritage” stuff is propaganda that white supremacists have put out to try to recruit more white supremacists to their cause of white supremacy

Tbh, its hard to ignore the bullshit getting regurgitated when you are still literally a child. I heard about the “war of northern aggression” in elementary school when we covered the civil war.
They are literally grooming our children into this.
Even in CA, we had a Texan middle school teacher who drilled into our heads like a mantra that the Civil War was about disagreements over States’ rights/tariffs/etc.
What a loser. I had a high school teacher from North Carolina that would jokingly call it the war of northern aggression, but she was smart enough to point out to us why that notion was bullshit before playing heel.
