I though everyone got the "The civil war was fought over slavery, everybody
knows that" sometime during elementary, and then aa "Yeah, but..." later on
from a high school or college history teacher.
"A house divided cannot stand" has nothing to do with slavery and
everything to do with defending the nation against foreign invaders.
Just how did the teachings from TX to KS differ anyway? I'm also interested
because my fractional grasp on history retains the reason for a Kansas and
a Nebraska.
