What caused the Civil War? Did the North care about abolishing slavery? Did the South secede because of slavery? Or was it about something else entirely...perhaps states' rights? Col. Ty Seidule, history professor at the U.S. Military Academy at West Point, settles the debate once and for all.

For more information on the Civil War, check out The West Point History of the Civil War, an interactive e-book that brings the Civil War to life in a way that's never been done. Click here -> https://shop.westpointhistoryofwarfare.com/products/copy-of-the-west-point-history-of-the-civil-war.

APNewsBreak: Cosby said he got drugs to give women for s*x

So, are we done giving Bill Cosby the benefit of the doubt now? http://news.yahoo.com/apnewsbreak-cosby-said-got-drugs-women-s*x-212247466.html

PHILADELPHIA (AP) — Bill Cosby testified in 2005 that he got Quaaludes with the intent of giving them to young women he wanted to have s*x with, and he admitted giving the sedative to at least one woman and "other people," according to documents obtained Monday by The Associated Press.

Gov. Chris Christie’s Phony Truth-Telling

From the article: "There are lines between brash and belligerent, between open and obnoxious, and, most important, between 'telling it like it is' and not telling the truth. Mr. Christie crosses those lines all the time . . . "

There are lines between brash and belligerent, open and obnoxious, and, most important, between “telling it like it is” and fabricating a record.

This 4th of July, remember the writers, thinkers, and philosophers who came up with the whole idea in the first place:

"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness.--That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed"

Just a quick reminder: Since the Charleston shootings, 1,400 people have died by gun violence in the U.S. But I suppose it's too soon to politicize those 1,400 tragedies either.

"He embodied the idea that our Christian faith demands deeds and not just words; that the “sweet hour of prayer” actually lasts the whole week long – that to put our faith in action is more than individual salvation, it’s about our collective salvation; that to feed the hungry and clothe the naked and house the homeless is not just a call for isolated charity but the imperative of a just society."
--President Obama's Eulogy for Clementa Pinckney

To all our conservative brothers and sisters: Take a beat. Breathe. Today's Supreme Court decision affects you not at all. No one is going to force you to get gay married. No one is going to force your pastor to gay marry any of the G**s right there in the middle of your straight church. You can continue to hate all the same people today you hated yesterday, be as unwelcoming and bigoted as you choose. This is still America. You have that choice.

Monopoly on Truth's Odd Coincidence of the Day: Ginni Thomas has made a substantial income lobbying against the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare). Her husband, Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas, failed to report that income, as he is required by law to do. And every time he has been given the opportunity to rule whether a portion of the ACA is unconstitutional, Justice Thomas has decided, "Yes, it IS unconstitutional." Odd, that.

Every day 30 Americans are murdered by gun violence and 53 Americans use guns to commit su***de. So, if you've been looking at Facebook for the past 17 minutes, chances are an American has died by gun violence while you were doing it.

The Growing Right-Wing Terror Threat

From the article: "In a survey we conducted with the Police Executive Research Forum last year of 382 law enforcement agencies, 74 percent reported anti-government extremism as one of the top three terrorist threats in their jurisdiction; 39 percent listed extremism connected with Al Qaeda or like-minded terrorist organizations. And only 3 percent identified the threat from Muslim extremists as severe, compared with 7 percent for anti-government and other forms of extremism."

U.S. citizens may fear homegrown jihadists, but law enforcement is more worried about right-wing extremists.

Anti-intellectualism Is Killing America

From the article: "America is killing itself through its embrace and exaltation of ignorance, and the evidence is all around us. Dylann Roof, the Charleston shooter who used race as a basis for hate and mass murder, is just the latest horrific example. Many will correctly blame Roof's actions on America's culture of racism and gun violence, but it's time to realize that such phenomena are directly tied to the nation's culture of ignorance.

Violent U.S. crime drops again, reaches 1970s level: FBI

According to the FBI, violent crime is half as common today as it was in 1994, and all crime has fallen almost every year since then. Today's crime rates are around the same as they were in the 1970s. The 24-hour news cycle and others who profit from your fear would have you think we're living in the era of Mad Max, when we're actually living in the era of The Brady Bunch. http://www.reuters.com/article/2014/11/10/us-usa-crime-fbi-idUSKCN0IU1UM20141110

U.S. violent crimes including murders fell 4.4 percent in 2013 to their lowest number since the 1970s, continuing a decades-long downturn, the FBI said on Monday.The law enforcement agency's annual
