I know he's got me on ignore, but just to be clear: this bullshit is the American version of Holocaust denial. It was all about slavery. That's what they thought then, and that's all that matters, because those folks living back then were the ones who did the fighting and dying. Period, the end.
The institution of slavery was at the root of all four of the causes you yourself have listed. As I said, no slavery, no Civil War. Thanks for making my point for me.
Get real: for 400 years ? whites have always been and will always be lazy workers, who like to be paid a lot ( minimum wages,...). I 'll make an exception for Jewish practicants. Latinos and Asians are the best workers. Latinos & Asians: the more, the better. Good workers, happy workers, cheap workers. blacks and whites are the laziest workers out there. I can understand for blacks: 400 years of working for free might have put them off working for cheap. whites come with all sort of bullshit about why they need to be paid more, when the reality is they are too lazy to be arsed.
