Racism and slavery was just as wrong then as it is now. I shouldn't be sugar coated the way the Pauls and others of their ilk have done.
The Confederacy's treason wasn't just leaving the Union for the rights of states to determine how to rule within their borders. Nor was it a war for economic supremacy by the Union, but a fundamental rebellion against the Founders' ideal for a future America, better than their own creation, where All Men Are Created Equal. Not just plantation owners and white men. It was pure racism and a denial of human rights.
