<p>[QUOTE=&quot;medoraman, post: 2042656, member: 26302&quot;]Probably because the greatest purported cause of the war has never been settled. The real reason may have been slavery and its abolition, (the reason my ancestor, a Quaker, joined the Army to assist in the Quartermaster Corp even though Quakers have long avoided military service), but the purported issue was states rights. That issue is just as relevant today as in 1860, especially with Washington&#039;s current demands overstepping their Constitutional authority.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>I, like my ancestors, have served in the military to defend against evils of which slavery of course was one. However, in the cause of States Rights, I am with my southern friends and believe in a stricter interpretation of the Constitution.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
