Let's switch this around and bring it to a more recent act instead of hundred plus year old crap none of us on this page even had a hand in. What about Beyonces atrocious act advertising violence and hate just a week ago.

I would highly recommend that all take the time to read about the reasons on both side that why the Civil War was fought. The North was not a saint and neither side can make the claim you can pick up a t**d by the clean end.
Why The War Was Not About Slavery. And one should really review the references at the bottom of the article. Especially Lincoln's notes, writings and speeches.

Again, read the documents of secession. They are all about slavery. The so called reason of states rights are merely invoked to defend the institution of slavery. You need to read. These documents have nothing to do with what the winning side put forth as the reasons.
I would like to add the South believed in International Economics. They wanted to sell their cotton to the whole world (the US alone wasn't a big enough market) in doing so they must have slave labor to do it. (or at least they thought they did) The North didn't quite feel that way. (hence the conflict started)
