Aleksandr I. Solzhenitsyn And how we burned in the camps later, thinking: What would things have been like if every Security operative, when he went out at night to make an arrest, had been uncertain whether he would return alive and had to say good-bye to his family? Or if, during periods of mass arrests, as for example in Leningrad, when they arrested a quarter of the entire city, people had not simply sat there in their lairs, paling with terror at every bang of the downstairs door and at every step on the staircase, but had understood they had nothing left to lose and had boldly set up in the downstairs hall an ambush of half a dozen people with axes, hammers, pokers, or whatever else was at hand?

The Civil War was not about slavery. The North accepted slavery before, during, and after the War. It was about several states wanting to free themselves of a banking system that forced them to accept less than what they thought their goods were worth. The international bankers profited while trying to bankrupt both sides with loans.
