"The 1860 United States presidential election served as the catalyst for economic discussion; the North was a heavily populated, industrialized society fed by immigration, while the South was a traditional agricultural society, economically laissez-faire, and dependent on plantations. Mississippi senator Jefferson Davis argued every state had the right to resist Federal regulation, and could choose the economic system it wanted. Illinois representative Abraham Lincoln opposed this, arguing the Federal government had the right to intervene economically. "
This doesn't reflect any contemporary scholarly consensus; it obfuscates what is clearly stated later in the lede about causes of the war; identifying Lincoln and Davis by their positions prior to 1861 is inappropriate; and it cites a children's history book from the 1950s as its only source. 12.172.251.101 ( talk) 23:36, 28 May 2024 (UTC)
Your claim the confederacy ended on May 9,1865 excluding the battle of palmetto in Texas and the continuous slavery in Texas and elsewhere until June 19, 1865. Also, a Confederate general with an active army group was fighting until June 23, 1865. The end date of May 9 is ludicrous. The true end date should be June 23, 1865 as that is the last day a commissioned general surrendered his command. After that date only scattered forces were fighting without unified commands or without orders from any commanding general. 72.105.174.146 ( talk) 10:43, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
As the Confederate States Never Surrendered, we should go by the end date of the last Confederate generals surrender. That would be June 23, 1865. That is why the south will rise again myth was shouted by Southerners for over 100 years. The claim from the South never Surrendered and would fight the Yankees again. Some cities in the South still had the confederate flag flying until the early 2000s. 72.105.174.146 ( talk) 10:52, 12 July 2024 (UTC)
