Conversations With History: James M. McPherson

[@hpritchard1000]

In all the videos and speeches about the cause of the civil war, there is one reason and probably the main reason that the war was fought that no one talks about. So for the record, I am going to state that the biggest cause of the civil war was that the white population of the South was deathly afraid of the slaves. When you have your foot of a man's neck for 300 years you are scared to death of what he will do when he gets up. Also, fear was a big seller for the politicians, all they had to do was point out the slave revolts, scare the men, but really scare the women (I'm thinking of Witney Plantation here). So please, if you are going to lecture of the Civil War put this idea at the start of your speech.
