The second fight for freedom (Sophie Vick)

Why did the Southerners want to keep slavery(besides for their businesses), when they realized that it was going to a blood bath for it? Did everyone fight for slavery, even if they didn't own slaves? (in the south) Did the north know there would be a huge battle before hand? How did the south get ah old of weapons? or did they just use the ones they had? During the war who was more knowledgeable? (military, strategy, soldiers, etc.)

Why the Civil War???? I agree that there were major differences in the North and the South, at the time. There still are today. The South thought that the North were a bunch of racist, sexist, etc. The North thought that the South were a bunch of back neck of the woods uncivilized freaks for the nineteenth century. The most significant difference was slavery. I'm not really sure that slavery was the main cause of the war. I think that it had to do with the differences in their economies more so than slavery. Slavery is still a part of the economic differences. Everyone in the Senate and the House all favored their own Section of the country or their state. That could also create some controversies for the country. When the Northerner got beaten with a can by a Southerner, that's when things were starting to get out of hand. Someone should have put a stop to that the moment it started. Weren't they supposed to be Gentlemen??
