Slave holders with 20 or more slaves were not required to go
to war. (The slave holding aristocracy
was a relatively small minority, most of the rebels were struggling to make
ends meet. With the exception of
high-ranking military officers, most of the upper class remained safe and
secure back on the plantation, while those boys died or came home with missing
limbs and bad mental health). How do you
feel that wealthy planters put a plan in motion to go to war, and sent their
lower class brothers to fight for their interests?
