You indicated earlier that slavery had nothing to do with the war.

"Absolutely, redfish. That is exactly where I stand."

Redfish indicated that slavery "triggered" secession. Confederate Vice-President Alexander Stephans in his Cornerstone speech in Georgia stated that slavery was the immediate cause of the 'revolution'.

"The new constitution has put at rest, forever, all the agitating questions relating to our peculiar institution -- African slavery as it exists amongst us -- the proper status of the negro in our form of civilization. This was the immediate cause of the late rupture and present revolution."
