- Ekaros 4y agoQuestion wasn't about secession, but the following invasion.
- steventhedev 4y agoThe invasion was in response to Confederate attacks on Union forts - starting with Fort Sumter. Saying the civil war is not about slavery because the invasion was about responding to Confederate belligerence is like saying that someone who died with Covid-19 actually died from heart failure. You might be technically correct (most people's hearts fail when they die), but it's at best pedantic and at worst disingenuous.
