April 12-14 1861 Fort Sumter was fired upon. Protective Tariffs that oppressed the South were the cause of the war. Greedy industrialists in the North wanted the cotton for their factories in New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania. No mention of slavery was found in the Tariff Act seen below. Take note of the Seven Star First National flag at the Fort!
Snow In New Orleans
* * * *
Everything in New Orleans is a good idea. Bijou temple-type cottages and lyric cathedrals side by side. Houses and mansions, structures of wild grace. Italianate, Gothic, Romanesque, Greek Revival standing in a long line in the rain. Roman Catholic art. Sweeping front porches, turrets, cast-iron balconies, colonnades- 30-foot columns, gloriously beautiful- double pitched roofs, all the architecture of the whole wide world and it doesn't move. All that and a town square where public executions took place. In New Orleans you could almost see other dimensions. There's only one day at a time here, then it's tonight and then tomorrow will be today again. Chronic melancholia hanging from the trees. You never get tired of it. After a while you start to feel like a ghost from one of the tombs, like you're in a wax museum below crimson clouds. Spirit empire. Wealthy empire. One of Napoleon's generals, Lallemaud, was said to have come here to check it out, looking for a place for his commander to seek refuge after Waterloo. He scouted around and left, said that here the devil is damned, just like everybody else, only worse. The devil comes here and sighs. New Orleans. Exquisite, old-fashioned. A great place to live vicariously. Nothing makes any difference and you never feel hurt, a great place to really hit on things. Somebody puts something in front of you here and you might as well drink it. Great place to be intimate or do nothing. A place to come and hope you'll get smart - to feed pigeons looking for handouts”

General Polk was one of the greatest Generals in the South. His Polk Flag was distinct and he died with honor in battle defending his homeland!
The greatest writer in world history supported the Southern Cause. Charles Dickens
Merry Christmas everyone from the man who invented Christmas.
Moving forward on the historical timeline, Charles Dickens watched the American Civil War unfold by following the news of the day as it reached England. Remembering his experiences and disgust over the copyright issues and greedy businessmen, Dickens implicitly supported the South, suggesting that the Northern calls for abolition merely masked a desire for some type of economic gain.[vii] Though startled by Southern slavery during his 1842 visit, he darkly suggested a lack of abolitionist fervor from the Union preservers, remarking in a private letter, “They will both rant and lie and fight until they come to a compromise; and the slave may be thrown into that compromise or thrown out of it, just as it happens.”[viii] Clearly, Dickens had formed dark opinions of the United States economically and morally – some of which had historical foundation

Canada and the Southern states had great flags during the War. Think Canada helped the North? Think again! Canada used a UK ensign flag and the CSA had a First National Flag. SEE Below
Still think the war was about slavery! Think again. It was about protectionist tariffs imposed by the North in favor of Northern industrial interests.
