On the first comment, the civil war was fought for many reasons. Your view is more or less the victor's account, which may have a grain of truth but also misses the primary cause (not that I know the primary cause).

Your second comment implies the south could never change. While I agree (due to Imrahil's point on why Slavery wasn't ended during the war) it would take a good while to free the slaves and change the Confederate's economy, it could still happen before our time. Change can be painful & discouraged, but that doesn't mean some are unaffeced by it.
