You can lose the condescension
1. Saying that slavery didn't play a major role (quite possibly the biggest role) in the coming of the Civil War is nonsense. All those complex things? A lot of them can be tied back to slavery and its knock on effects.
2. If you were at all familiar with Scamp (the OP incidentally is a repost from HiFo, and might even have been posted on other non-existent forums prior), you would know that his primary interest in the Confederacy really does seem to be that it kept African-Americans in slavery. Scamp, the funny guy that he is, has warnings on both HiFo and PoFo for racism.
