Let's play a game, look up the states articles of secession and see how many words you can make before you see a word starting with 'slave'

By my count, Texas maybe goes the longest before mentioning it, but they all do.
Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery--
Fucking yikes Mississippi.
Itâs definitely a blow for the âthe civil war wasnât about slaveryâ crowd lol. Like Iâm all for not judging the past by modern morals and acting like confederates werenât as human as the rest of us⊠but pretending the civil war had nothing to do with slavery is simply a farce.
It had 100% to do with slavery. The south would not have been the cotton king with out them.

Fucking yikes Mississippi
I mean, what can one expect from a state who's state flag was this until less than 3 years ago?
I forgot they changed it quite frankly. The old one suits their current government more accurately.
Also check out Alexander H. Stephen's (Vice-President of the Confederate States) Cornerstone speech.
"The new constitution has put at rest, forever, all the agitating questions relating to our peculiar institution African slavery as it exists amongst us the proper status of the negro in our form of civilization. This was the immediate cause of the late rupture and present revolution."
"Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite idea; its foundations are laid, its corner-stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery subordination to the superior race is his natural and normal condition."
It's amazing the amount of mental gymnastics slavery apologists commit to considering the wealth of primary sources describing how the succession and war were directly related to slavery.
That's some heritage they had going.

Yea it seems like NC was trying to fence-sit and basically got knocked off the fence by the battle of Fort Sumter.
