The South attempted to exit from the Union in order to preserve the right


to own other people. People enlisted to fight a war to exit. While I am sure that some people were more defending their home land than defending THEIR right to own people, that does not affect the impact of the war or slavery. Nor does it make honoring people who fought for that right to own people any less offensive to either descendants of slaves or to people who find salvery an abhorrent part of our past.
