FOR THOSE THAT BELIEVE THE ANTEBELLUM PERIOD BEFORE THE CIVIL WAR WAS ABOUT SLAVERY THINK AGAIN; The antebellum period was never about architecture or music.
It most certainly was not about maintaining slavery.
It was about the abolition movement, the Underground Railroad,
the rise to prominence of Abraham Lincoln, and the battle to end slavery.
For without this commitment to abolishing slavery
there would never have been a civil war.
