    No you didn’t. Either everyone agreed or a war was fought over it. It can’t be both. You don’t fight a war over something everyone agrees on.

    So feel free to explain that contradiction. I doubt you will.

      Because most of the ignorant south at the time didn’t know shit about it being fought against slavery. Me and 100million + other firearm owners haven’t killed anyone or used our firearms in anger…which harms 0 people… slavery harms a fuck load of people and you equating it to the 2nd is hilariously naive. Congress can’t even get single payer healthcare past…yet you think we can ratify the constitution?

              More people agreed that it needed to be than didn’t…and again. That will not happen with the 2nd, because more people in the USA agree with it than don’t. You’re in the tiny minority that wants it repealed. If you don’t like it, move to another country.

                Most? So it was a war against a tiny minority of people? That is your contention?

                Also, “if you don’t like it, leave” is something bigots say. Are you sure you want to be using their language?

                  Yes it was a war fought with a tiny minority running the damn thing. The majority of the soldiers on the southern side were penniless and were lied to. You know damn well what I’m saying but you’re in such a “gotcha” mode that you think the 2nd has any chance of being repealed.

                  And really? We’re going to go with trying to lump me into that shit? Lol

                  The white privilege just oozes off you.

                    Please provide evidence that only a small minority of Southerners approved of slavery.

                    Also, please provide evidence that I am white.
