The US has been at war since the original revolution. Most of these battles are not well publicized. But if you read on the wars that are definite historical events you will find that no one really knew what they were fighting for. Even an event such as WWII, few soldiers knew the purpose of the war. Yet with the War of Northern Aggression, educators are sure that this horrible war was fought over slavery. This despite the fact that both sides were ok with slavery and did nothing to free the slaves, the Emancipation did not free slaves. Soldiers of the CSA were fighting for their homes and families, which were targeted by Lincoln and his terrorist.
