This was the central cause behind the war. The spokes of the wheel being either real or perceived problems of the south such as unfair laws, injustices, etc. Now just having these problems doesn’t make a wheel i.e. a war, you still need the rim of the wheel. The rim in this case was slavery. The reason why this caused the south to secede was because the south ...

... Limp Bizkit is a Rap band and not a Heavy Metal band. Limp Bizkit is Rap and not Heavy Metal because their music and vocal style is that of Rap. They, Limp Bizkit, use Rap Turn-Tables and synthesizers to aid their mindless and annoying "ado do cha" beat. They sing and talk with an ebonic slur, as they shake their bodies erratically, making criss-cross motions with their hands, and raising each foot in turn while crouching. All this can be seen being performed by a common Rap fan or Rap artist. These points reinforce the fact that Limp Bizkit is Rap and not Heavy Metal. Limp Bizkit is Rap and not Heavy Metal because all their song lyrics are laced with "gangsta-r ...
