What's up with everyone's deal with bringing up slavery when trying to discredit the founding of America? Almost the entire world owned slaves at this time, slavery wasn't exclusive to America.

The rejection of the principles of the enlightenment/abolishment movement by the whites in the Southern United States to the extent that they went to war over it was exclusive to America. America is the only country that had a full blown civil war to protect their slave trade.

Please continue to entertain the rest of the world with your stupidity, America.

The war was over states' right to secede and not slavery. Slavery was on the outs anyways Lincoln used that as a platform to push his Henry Clay agenda.

Also yea, your ignorance of the real causes of the civil war as Recycled Children point out further cement the fact that you're a moran socialist shithole, probably from a country in euro or canada or some other shitty british colony

socialism is for fucking idiots who didnt pay attention to history class where the past 100 years they killed 200 million and collapsed every country that implemented it

china and russia have more capitalist economies

The only thing America exports is its culture, you are an industrial nation with no industry. The power shifts throughout history, but you are too narrow minded to acknowledge such. China will be the new influential power of the world; you are the new Spain.

America was the ONLY country to have a civil war over slavery abolishment, it was widely accepted throughout the world, but not in the Southern USA. Regardless of your misinformation, this is fact. I don't know what they teach you in History in the states, but it is obviously biased bullshit.

Let me dumb it down for you community college elites. WHY did the South want to secede from the North?
LOL America.

Nobody said America's going down the shitter atm, look at the fucking Marxist leading it.

And you are getting the batshit retarded version of history worse than the Holocaust bullshit they serve. For one thing the North was becoming more industrial, creating newer industries, and the South was losing money on it's cotton and tobacco plantations. Therefore, the South wanted to start trading outside of the United States, and the United States government wanted to charge large taxes and tariffs on the Southern plantation goods. These two things lead to a difference in agenda, and thus the Southern elites decided to make their own government, the Confederates.

Hope that helps, Abraham Lincoln didn't address slavery until the war was almost over.
