In 1861, The US Congress passed the Crittenden-Johnson Resolution. It stated that the Civil War was being fought to preserve the Union, and NOT to end slavery (Photo shows John Crittenden left and Andrew Johnson right). #CivilWar “Although it made no mention of slavery, the resolution intended ——” Time and again historians have tried to explain away the simple fact the Civil War was NOT predominately about slavery. The documents themselves made little mention of it until AFTER the war started and the petty politics weren’t justification for the lives lost. Slavery was dragged into the argument to give the loss of life moral justification and history was rewritten to bolster that fallacy.
