    Because it frames the civil war as a conflict primarily about the south breaking free from northern domination and liberating itself from an oppressor instead of what it actually was which was a war about ending slavery in the United States, which is objectively a good thing. It just shows Bakunin was not thinking very materially.

      Well, to be more accurate it started as a war over the expansion of slavery into newly acquired territories. You know, bleeding Kansas and whatnot.
