Civil War
The civil was was not about freedom of slaves, it was about power, control and possession. The industrial revolution was at it’s peak and the industrial north needed workers for their factories. The concept of self-sufficient plantations, privately owned by family’s that set their own prices for their crop was a thorn in the side of their capitalistic regime, a stumbling block to the doctrine of Manifest Destiny that would propel them to the top of the pyramid where they would sit on their throne above the Cosmos and rule over the nations with an iron rod. The north wasn’t interested in freeing southern slaves as much as it was interested in enslaving the south for it’s own purposes. The confederate states were invaded by the Union and rendered prisoners of war. The civil war wasn’t about freedom, it was about money and power and labor and taxes.The Civil War was an embaresment to the ideal of Liberty and Freedom that the United States of America was founded on. History reapeats it-self and today the new civil war is in it’s birth pains,emerging from a 40 year old struggle against the Liberty and Freedom our country supposedly represents, no longer North vs. South, this time the country will be divided from east to west and the cash crop is no longer cotton.
