To those who are intrigued by
the Confederacy, its leaders, and
its people. one of the most pro-
vocative questions that can be-
asked about this period is,
"Why?" Why indeed did eleven
states of our supposedly well-knit
Union suddenly break away to
form a new government with a
Constitution very similar to that
of the United States? Why did
this government leader resist
al offers of peace which did not
include independence for his ma
ton? Why did thousands of
peace-loving men suddenly be-
come i in Fl m d with hatred
against their opponents and strike
fear into the hearts of Yankees
with the deadly earnest. blood
curdling Rebel yell? All of these
questions can be briefly answered
with one word: independence. But
then another question arises: why
was independence so necessary to
the South? Why were these
states impelled to dissolve the
Union?
The South and the North were
fundamentally different in their
economic systems - one was in
creasingly industrial; the other,
almost untouched by the Indus
trial Revolution, subsisted upon
an agricultural economy. Their
political interests were diverse
the North favored a high protec-
tive tariff, free homesteads, and
internal improvements at federal
expense. all of which were con-
trary to Southern interests. 1t has
been said that the slavery issue
was only the spark which touched
off the hot flame of secession and
war: however, it is certain that
the economic differences between
the two factions would have been
solved peacefully if slavery had
been nonexistent. The South S
economy depended on one crop,
cotton. which depended on the
cheap labor supplied by the
slaves. However, the soil in the
cotton states was quickly becom-

Lees and Davis's reasons for
fighting. Most Confederates had
never owned a slave, and there

rights and the right of secession
were not important to the aver
age Confederate. The majority of
these Southerners just wanted to
be ''let alone" and when Lin
coins call for troops threatened
to bring invasion. they took up
arms in order to defend their
homes and families.
Independence, political free

perately against overwhelming
odds. Although this gigantic eff
fort was doomed to failure, al
most certainly there were many
Rebels who regretted, with Ma
than Hale. that they had but one
life to give for their country. The
story of the Confederacy, short
lived though it was, teaches a
vital lesson to todays citizens
We SouthernerS, especially, can
look back and learn from Johnny
Reb that a truly worthwhile cause
deserves all our efforts. Only a
century ago, thousands died be-
cause they cared deeply about
the survival of principles. We
probably will not be called on to
make this sacrifice. but if we are
true SouthernerS, we should be
prepared to fight to the end in
order that our own beliefs may
survive.
