The Catharsis Of The American Civil War: How The Near Division Of The United States Served To Strengthen The Union
Public schools have a tendency to teach children an abridged, and highly inaccurate, version of the Civil War: the heroes of the North, under Lincoln, fought the scoundrels of the South to free the slaves.

Join The Union Army And See The World. Well, Sort Of...
Once again, contemporary historical wisdom has it that all of the slaves ran away to join the union army or to follow it. As one neo-abolitionist historian recently put it, “The Slaves set themselves free!!”

Dem "Uppity White Trash" Yankees
Once again, popular historical wisdom holds that all slaves welcomed the Yankees and that the Yankees, being of course an army of blue-coated warm and fuzzy types, responded with love and affection. Let’s go to the historical videotape and toss a few eggs at contemporary historical “wisdom”.

So You've Been Told Secession Was Illegal. Guess What? It Wasn't

Grant's Words Negating Slavery As The Cause Of The Uncivil War
I have found one 1903 source for the now famous words spoken by General Ulysses Grant.

No, it is not 1860 again. But with all the talk of the 10th Amendment, nullification and interposition, states rights and secession – following Gov. Rick Perry's misstatement that Texas, on entering the Union in 1845, reserved in its constitution a right to secede – one might think so.
