re: Haley declines to say slavery was cause of Civil War

So when the North wanted to secede after the Louisiana purchase because all of these States were going to be new agrarian minded people, not mercantile people like the North, they convened and it was scuttled.

Or like when the North was severely hampered by the naval blockades prohibiting trading with the British during the war of 1812 and they convened at the Hartford convention to present the prospect of secession.

Both of those were over slavery? Or MONEY?

The nullification of 1830 and the Tariff of Abominations was over slavery?

The South's cotton and sugar exportation was larger than the North's entire GDP. The South was where the money was and not just for plantation owners.

But you're telling me if the North would have treated the South like Spain or France and recognized them as an independent nation, we still would have had a war over slavery?

If that's the case, why haven't we waged war against every nation on Earth that recognizes the institution of slavery in the name of freeing all slaves?
