What’s the doct? And yeah, the south feared the dissolution of slavery but from my understanding that was not what it was about for the north. Hence the 3/5ths compromise.
You realize that the 3/5ths compromise was added in 1787 at the constitutional convention right? That wasn’t even remotely at issue during the civil war.
So it would seem. A bunch of the sources I was just googling seemed to confirm what I had learned in school, hence this debate. We were never taught about the dotc though, I take it they were a post war group of propagandists?
Post war group of propagandists is a pretty good way to put it.
They were responsible for many of the Confederate statues, and a lot of revisionist rhetoric has its seeds with them.
To be clear, they were effective. And the public school system still bears their mark today, actually it’s probably getting worse.
The South seceded out of fears of abolition. Full stop. Losing the election in a landslide to a Republican was only the last in a huge pile of straws. Ft Sumpter wasn’t even where the fighting started. People had been literally killing each other over the issue of continued/expanded slavery for several years already.
Any source claiming that the South had more nuanced reasons for leaving is either knowingly lying, or has been taken in by a lie.
