well said.
honestly, i don't know the cause of that war, nor am i someone who can determine that. it most likely is slavery i don't know. it could be one it could be both. i just think that there isn't just one cause for a whole war, especially when you look at the big picture, the vacuum of it all.
They had a special on Anderson Cooper 360 on just this. I think we should leave it to those guys to battle it out on television: http://www.mediaite.com/tv/cnns-topical-di...-the-civil-war/
i think it's wrong to compare a confederate to a Nazi. two different things, two different ideals, two different motives. i think Hitler was the worst f*** ever. he even wanted to expel my country. but that doesn't stop me from believing he was a military genius with some good ideas, contributions/discoveries, and a damn good artist. all of this is nothing new! just read Akhenaton, Nero, Caligula, Vlad the Great, Ottomans, are just a few random examples.

I'm going to remind people to keep it civil. Nobody has been over the line yet but it's got that potential for sure.

i wonder if radu realizes that the texas declaration of causes of secession was made 15 YEARS before the civil war
uhm.. what? The declaration was made on February 2, 1861. Texas seceded from the United States on March 23, 1861.
The declaration in the link I pasted ends with:
"Adopted in Convention on the 2nd day of Feby, in the year of our Lord one thousand eight hundred and sixty-one and of the independence of Texas the twenty-fifth."
The "1845" in the introduction refers to when Texas was ADMITTED as a constituent state to the US. Did you just saw a number but couldn't even read one single sentence from the thing?!
I hope it's obvious why I won't even bother reading the rest of your post
