Here in the North we were taught the war was about slavery. There is.clearly much more.to the story. What has happened in education the last 50 years is a travesty and we.let it happen. Question becomes what to do to fix it.
My understanding is that is how most northern states have pretty much always taught it, but if the war was over slavery then why were the last states to free the slaves the states that stayed in the union, some of them didn't free their slaves until more than 6 months after the end of the war
