The war of northern aggression because they could not admit that the south was fighting the war to preserve and protect the institution of slavery. the south could not have been clearer about it at the time. they put it in writing. mississippi called the, quote, the institution of slavery the greatest material interest of the world. louisiana said they were fighting the war because of their, quote, determination to preserve african slavery. texas politicians have always footnoted their policies ...
