So firstly the north blames the south, and the south blames the north even today. who's account is right? why? who's fault was the cause of war?
secondly, if the civil war did not happen, would slavery had eventually died out or would we have it until today because it would not?

thirdly: what would be the main cause of the war? do you think it would be slavery, secession, or something else?

discuss.

Slavery is the cause. Secession happened because the Confederacy wanted to continue enslaving black people. The purpose of the war was to reunite all the states, and eliminate slavery from all the states.

When revisionist arguments are presented about the American Civil War, the political views of the people presenting those arguments should be examined. Their political views may explain why they wish to present a revisionist narrative.
