How have politicians clouded the issue of the cause of civil war

Most Politicians have openly recognized the Confederate history Month.

It is seen as part of the culture and heritage of the Southern States where many celebrate it.

However, most politicians, including Virginia Governor, Robert McDonnell do not dive into the details of the cause of the Civil War, especially refraining to talk about Slavery and it's impact on the Union in the 19th Century. He would rather focus on other issues that are affecting the State such as law and order situations or job creation.

However, most Professors in Southern States provide a wealth of information on how slavery did become the most important dividing factor between the North and the South.

my cultural heritage consists of irish, german, native american, and others.

these acts divided the south into five military districts.
