@kbg @mekkaokereke I was taught that it "Wasn't about slavery" in elementary school in Michigan in the 80s or 90s. It was because the South seceded from the Union.
I don't know whether this was a rogue teacher or whether it was part of the local curriculum.
Thankfully I had a historically-minded friend that filled me in.
