Question

Give an example of how politicians have clouded the issue of the cause of the Civil War?

Answer 1

The politicians say that the Civil War was started because the slaves from the south were escaping from their plantations and running for Canada because they were free once they passed the Canadian Border. The northerns hid the escaped slaves when bounty hunters came to look for them.

Answer 2

Answer:

Virginia Gov. Robert McDonnell recently officially recognized Confederate History Month without acknowledging the role of slavery in the war. He explained this action by saying that while slavery was one of many factors, he wanted to focus on factors that were “most significant” to his state. This view differs from the well-documented historical record of the importance of slavery in the secession of the Southern states.
