2. Slavery is listed as the most important issue of the war. Obviously it wasn\'t the only, but this article wrongfuly discredits all other reasons. Did you know Stonewall Jackson ran a sunday school that taught slaves to read, write, learn religion, and limitedaspects of law? Even though it was illegal? How about the Confederate self imposed ban on the importation of slaves? Or President Jefferson Davis\' statement that slavery would eventualy go away on its own? Or that many black confederate infantry recieved pensions for their service (Black Confederate Soldiers online database). Don\'t believe me? You can find out yourself by reading online (not the other wiki) or by looking it up at your local library :).

P.S. Did you know that Honest Abe took around 1,100 political prisoners, including the legislature of one state that would have suceed from the union? Not only that, he ignored the Supreme Court\\\'s decision that it was illegal and unconstitutional to hold those prisoners without trial.
