Florida's said just stopping the SPREAD of slavery was like burning the south to death over a slow fire - because the Negroes were getting so numerous, soon they would be worthless.<br /><br />Other Southern leaders said they would have to KILL their slaves if Lincoln were elected, because Lincoln was going to free the slaves. <br /><br />Davis also talked about killing the slaves, if they had to free the slaves.Dan Walkerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03600453725390655595noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20389448.post-39826792715209531572009-06-23T19:24:26.451-05:002009-06-23T19:24:26.451-05:00Now let's get this straight, the war was reall...Now let's get this straight, the war was really about state's rights; of course the right they really cared about was the right of states to have slavery even if it was morally abhorent.
