Things You're Not Supposed To Know About the South

by Thomas E. Woods, Jr.

Was the war about slavery? 

The movement for secession started in 1860; the war started in April of 1861; keep that in mind as you read Lincoln's First Inaugural Address given in March of 1861; and then a letter written by Abraham Lincoln to Horace Greeley, the Editor of The New York Tribune, in August of 1862.

"The Confederate soldiers were our kin folk and our heroes. We testify to the country our enduring fidelity to their memory. We commemorate their valor and devotion. There were some things not surrendered at Appomattox. We did not surrender our rights and history, nor was it one of those conditions of surrender that unfriendly lips should be suffered to tell the story of that war or that unfriendly hands should write the epitaphs of our Confederate dead. We have the right to teach our children the true history of that war, the causes that led up to it and the principles involved. "
