Ive already studied it. All you have is some left wing site to support your views. Even that site says men just grabbed women and had off spring without marriage. Hebrews had marriage even if it was with multiple women. Religion is where marriage stems from nothing else. Like I said atheist can shack they have been doing it for thousands of years why marry now? Oh because of tax breaks. Government should not be in marriage or the bedroom.Your statement that the civil war was not about slavery is demonstrably false, much akin to a flat earth argument. The small number of remaining slaves in "neutral" states is irrelevant.
Maybe YOU need to look it up.
The origins of marriage
The institution of marriage is now the subject of a bitter national debate. How did marriage begin and why?theweek.com
Kentucky, Delaware, Maryland and Missouri never seceded from the union thus union states that had salves until forced not to by a constitutional amendment.
The civil war started and was fought over states rights ultimately. The federal government was trying to force states to stop slavery. The south said states rights override federal government wishes and seceded. Then several events later the civil war started to bring back the states that seceded from the federal government. Was the war needed to end slavery? Couldn't it have been settled in time without pushing states around? I believe it could have been. The civil war was fought to bring the southern states back and into submission. Freeing southern slaves was a bonus. Those union states that were neutral yet never left the union were still union states with slavery, and they kept them until a constitutional amendment was made to free them.
