re: I do not disagree with you that slavery caused succession

As a person who was born and raised in the south, two corrections:

1. The word is secession, not succession.

2. Secession (and ultimately the Civil War) were events directly tied to the issue of states rights. The slavery issue was but one of many tied to the south's desire to preserve states rights.

When the cretin sylvester stated:

The confederate flag southern whites are nothing but dumb racist white trash living in trailers

...he was, oddly, displaying his own bigoted attitude. Clearly, this person knows nothing about southerners or living in the south.
