[quote][b]Posted by:[/b] l Wersonian l Do you guys think that the Southerners were right about defending their style? I know most of us don't agree on slavery being fair, however back then it wasn't seen as such a morally wrong thing, or so I believe. If someone suddenly tried to take away everything that makes you, you, wouldn't you want to stop them as well?[/quote] Yep. For the time it was there way of life, they had the right to defend it. Just like today if our way of life was endanger then we have a right to defend it
