Foner claims it to be a war of independence based on the idea of isolationism having impacted the country so long, as well as imperialism issues impacting the matter further. This in turn has led Foner to believe that the war his people fight is one for independence rather than any other forms of violence. He sees his opposition as violent oppressors.
