Indeed repelling the Yankee invaders was a major motivator for soldiers -- especially non-slaveholding Virginians since their state was the principal seat of war -- but it does not refute the point about the benefits of slavery to those same Virginians.

"We often ask why so many southern white men, who did not own slaves and whose economic picture was negatively impacted by the competition from slavery, fought in 1861 to uphold an institution that did not evidently benefit them..."Pretty obvious they fought largely because their homes were being invaded by an enemy army. Or as one Southern soldier in Virginia reportedly responded to a Northern soldier's question "Reb, why are you fighting" with "I reckon because your here."
