Ben Franklin

The American Civil War was fought over slavery. Don't make me laugh. English papers in 1861 did not have the cartoonish views of today. Why is the South fighting? "We desire to be free from the control of the tax-imposing North--to develop the resources of our own land in our own way to enjoy the advantages which our geographical position gives us. We have no wish to interfere with the affairs of our neighbours, We are not aggressive. We desire only to be let alone." The North? "The response is 'Union !' We can understand what a man means when he says he is struggling to get out of the power of another, but how in the world is 'Union' to be secured by cutting throats?" The Western Daily Press, England, August 27, 1861
