quote:So why should I allow your ignorance to mislead me? The South did not want a war with the North because they knew they were at a huge disadvantage and would lose it. They had no designs on invading the North. The South was tired of being financially raped by the North to the extent that they, the South, were paying the vast majority of cost yet received by far the lesser amount of government spending. The North sought to increase their political advantage by making sure that no new slave states would be admitted meaning that the South would be even more at a disadvantage when it came to the balance of power.
And it was fought over slavery. Don’t let anyone mislead you.
The North even tried offering an Amendment to the US Constitution which would have enshrined slavery forever as legal everywhere it was in current practice. The South, if it was really fighting over "slavery" could have remained in the union and kept the institution of slavery. They didn't. It wasn't about slavery at all. Do your homework.
