"It was necessary to put the South at a moral disadvantage by transforming the contest from a war waged against states fighting for their independence into a war waged against states fighting for the maintenance and extension of slavery...and the world, it might be hoped, would see it as a moral war, not a political; and the sympathy of nations would begin to run for the North, not for the South." -- President Woodrow Wilson, "A History of The American People", page 231 #sec017 #woodrowwilson #slavery #independence #confederacy #civilwar #south #dixie
