    To me it seems like it was rooted from slavery. I mean, yes there's other things involved, but the main premise for the joining of the confederate states was to be separate from the rest of the US and retain their right to keep slavery.

    Are there any credible sites and not wiki? Colton your linky no worky

    If Southern culture is so assimilated with the rest of the country and vice versa then what's there to celebrate?

    Makes no sense.. to have won was to preserve the way of life in the South, which includes slavery. So by that statement, the black men who fought was trying to preserve their slave status? :confused:

    I think you kinda know what I'm trying to hint...

    Of all the reasons the Civil War was fought, slavery was not one of them?

    oh right - http://www.scv.org/

    You can find exceptions to the rule on any topic of discussion. The exceptions are not what history cares about.
