The Civil War was NOT a war for slavery rebuttal to Prager University video that falsely claims the Civil War was about slavery.

The Civil War was an illegal war, carried out by the North to retain America's biggest cash crops: cotton and tobacco, and to justify it, the North came up with one of the great lies of history.

Most all other comments that object to the video either present evidence that was debunked in the video (because they probably didn't watch the whole video) or are not responding to something that was said in the video

http://www.tomrichey.net Was the Civil War about slavery? PragerU appears to have it all figured out! It's so easy, the whole thing can be solved in five minutes! This man in uniform has done your thinking for you... so you don't have to do it! Tom Richey reacts as he examines the rhetorical strategies used in a video made to persuade you that you don't need to inquire about the American Civil War on your own. Link to Original PragerU Video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pcy7qV-BGF4 Here's the original video description from PragerU: What caused the Civil War? Did the North care about abolishing slavery? Did the South secede because of slavery? Or was it about something else entirely...perhaps states' rights? Colonel Ty Seidule, Professor of History at the United States Military Academy at West Point, settles the debate.
