If the Africans were NOT the group that were enslaved by southerners, would we still have fought the civil war?

Yes, we fought for them to be free and have rights. The south fought to defend slavery. The norths focus was not to end slavery but to preserve the union. I think the war would still happen do to differences between the states.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, because they were still fighting for slave rights and also their skin color

# data[].attributes.body
yes because we still have fought not because they were black but because they were slaved.

I think that the Civil War would have still been fought because the people in the North disagreed with what the South did. I think that it would have made it more divided because the North would have seen family and people they knew get treated badly, while the people that owned the slaves wouldn't have seen it because they were rich and didnt have to dothe labor.

Yes I think the civil war would of still been fought. I think they stiff would of fought in the civil war because the north wanted to end slavery. They didn’t just want to end slavery because of the color of skin, they wanted to end it because it was not right to have people working all day long with little food, water and barely making money. If they made any at all.

Yes because ther still would have been slavery, even if they were a different race.

# data[].attributes.body
I would say that if their actions and lifestyle was the same then yes, their race shouldn't make a difference

# data[].attributes.body
yes and no because thr civil war was over the race/skin color of the slaves

# data[].attributes.body
Yes,because the civil war was fought to stop slavery. I think that they would have still gone to war regardless of the slaves' race.

# data[].attributes.headline
yes because the north still would’ve wanted the europeans to have rights a freedom just like they did with the africans.

yes because the north still would’ve wanted the europeans to have rights a freedom just like they did with the africans.

# data[].attributes.body
Possibly because the Europeans would most likely want to go to war to have freedom just like the African Americans.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes, because slavery would still have the same effect on those people. We didn't fight the civil war because they were black, we fought because they were slaves and had awful lives and the North wanted to change that

# data[].attributes.body
I think that there would have still been a war because it says a lot in the book about how the Africans could not take care of themselves i feel as if Europeans had a more stable life and and would take advantage of the fact that they had access to anything. Any good, they could take whatever they wanted and that could cause a war.

# data[].attributes.body
Yes because the north and south didnt start the civil war because the slaves were a different race the north started the civil war because they wanted slavery in general to be abolished. But if the slaves were now european the war might not be between the north and south colonies but the europeans fighting with the north to abolish slavery agianst the south.
