I didn't assume anything. While it's a common arguement and /or fact that slavery was an underlying cause for the Civil War, most Americans don't know that most of the Confederate States directly referenced that "pecuilar institution" in their letters of secession. In fact, most Americans in the Southern States have never even seen thier own states' letter, much less the rest of them. Ironically, the "Confederate Flag" as we know it, is not even the original Confederate flag, but that's another story.
But hey, if you don't think Haley Barbour's statement doesn't represent the views of most of the people who fly that flag nowadays, then I'll be more than happy to agree to disagree.
