I was reading a Gordon Rhea book and in the introduction he stated that he had often thought about why southern soldiers fought to preserve slavery. He concluded by saying he believed "they were just creatures of their time."
I agree with Mr. Rhea but was wondering what some of our CWT friends felt would be a good reason.
I plan to start writing the manuscript for my next book this winter. Some insight from others on this question might help shape one of the chapters.
The book will be a the true story of a Mississippi family and their hardships (pre - post war).
