Not some no-nothing babbling about Prime Time Live.
Shelby Foote has said he would fight on the side of the South, if he lived back then. I'll take his opinions with a huge grain of salt.
And one quotation from a Southern soldier sheds very little light on the big issues that motivated the Civil War.
Ask an American soldier why he is fighting in Iraq--will he say oil, PNAC, global domination? Or will he earnestly declaim that he is trying to bring "freedom" and "democracy" to Iraq?
You didn't answer my question-what college/university taught you that the war was about "states rights?"
