Southerners are wrong when they call the Civil War the War of Northern Aggression. It was the South who launched the first attack on a fort on the coast of South Carolina. They were the aggressors, not the North. The North simply fought to keep the Union together. Abolition of slavery wasn't even an issue during the war until 1865, when Abraham Lincoln decided it would be a good way to get back at the South.
every history class I ever had until senior year of high school ended at the Civil War.

True facts except the "war of northern aggression" IS debatable. I say this because if the North had allowed the Southern states to seceed from the Union there would hav been no "civil" war, althugh war could have broken out still between the Union and Confederacy. I totally just went full circle.
