Can you explain that a little more? I’m guessing you meant secession, but even then I don’t get what you mean. Like, they seceded but the topic would be about WHY they did that.
my fucking midwestern education was like that. the textbooks said that there was an open question about whether states have the right to secede from the union as if the Confederacy was just Just Asking Questions
(yes, secession; autocorrect squiggled it into another word as i was typing)
…just that, though: we were taught that emancipation was just one of many issues stemming from increasingly-fundamental differences in economic, social, and international policy, and that the war itself precipitated from the southern states asserting a right to secession and sovereignty which the federal government did not grant…
…we were also taught that the spark was actually southern states’ seizure of federal assets…
…likewise; my wife was apoplectic when i suggested that the civil war was about secession…
