Americans killed their way to freedom in the Revolution, killed those who supported slavery until they surrendered at Appomattox, and if the government gets bad enough will vote with the bullet again.

The Civil War wasn't fought to end slavery, it was about money. The southern states seceded due to fundamental differences in economic philosophies, which happened to include slavery. The federal government acted to suppress a rebellion. Banning slavery was just an afterthought enacted towards the end of the war to further punish the southern states.

Ask yourself why the 10 results don't show me a little thumbnail of the page, even if that comes in after the results, that would be much more helpful in a lot of cases. Why isn't there an option at least to turn that on?
