150 Anniversary of 600,000 who died in the war to end slavery

It is the 150th anniversary of the War To End Slavery in the United States.
.
I wonder if in 150 years people will be as blase about Germans dressing up in World War II outfits.
.
ps: It was about States Rights -but only if you define that as the States Right to have Slaves - since that was the proximate and only real cause.  Every other State issue had been resolved without a war both before and since.  (The Whiskey Rebellin wasn't between states but between reginal moon-shiners; but points for good try.)
