The winner always gets to write the history. That's why so many believe the War Between the States was waged to end slavery.

it was between deep south and new england, with the mid-atlantic cought in the middle

RU, what was between the deep south and new england? The war, or the war with a basis in ending slavery. Either way you're mistaken, considering the role of Virginia...

the entire conflict, little pissy remarks in the senate

the deep south sold out virginia,

virginia was punished during reconstruction way more so than any other state/commonwealth

here is what happened: the deep south wanted to keep slavery, but they couldn't say that so they seceded and New England said no, everyone had to stay, but that arguement lost sway so they said it was b/c of slavery.

Both states rights issues and slavery issues were involved, but I think it was just a pissing contest that got out of hand. Virginia wouldn't have seceded if not for the southern states interfering in our legislature.

ETA: Both sides used propaghanda to promote their side and make the other side look bad. This has been done for every war I've ever bothered to read up on, and probably on most of the ones that I haven't. Well, at least since propaganda was invented, it's been used in war.
