The Cause that the Confederate States of America fought for (1861-1865) was Southern Independence from the United States of America. €They fought a civil war from 1861-1865,ours lasted from 1967-1970. Jefferson sounded the same tune even after the Constitution was ratified and the Union in effect. I read this little book over a recent weekend. In the history books the Confederacy has been turned into something it never was and lies and distortions need to They fought for independence from a newer, and a closer, but no less OPPRESSIVE government. It is a brief 69 pages, so I felt like I could quickly knock it down. As James McPherson writes in What They Fought For, 1861-1865,.

However, the victors write the history books, and it is no different when it comes to the history of the War of Northern Aggression between 1861-1865.
