From the Paper:

"When historians and other interested researchers analyze the Civil War, there is little to be found in terms of great advancements or innovations, either technological or theoretical. What one does discover even in a brief review of the "War Between the States" is human carnage, bloody battlefields, broken hearts, families torn apart, burned cities, wasted lives and political hatred. And all that waste, rage and killing resulted from the inability of two regions of a new country to come to a compromise over two important issues: a) Should the evil institution of slavery (human bondage) be allowed to continue? And b), do individual states within the union have the right to adopt their own moral and political policies even if those policies radically depart from the U.S. Constitution?"
