Ergo, slavery was not the causus belli of the Civil War (although I admit it was a significant issue, perhaps the most significant issue of disagreement leading up to the conflict itself).

You can ruminate as much as you want on the other issues that could have possibly led to the Civil War, but slavery was and will always be the catalyst reason. There is no other issue that played as big of a part in the secession of southern states as slavery did. To denounce this as being the case is just you being disingenuous.

I like how Ace is actually giving historically relevant information, and you just say the same things over and over

ETA: Troll away though

You're entitled to your opinion, but I can just as easily say the same thing about your assertion that strongly implied the war was about slavery, period.

It was not. To suggest such is to argue a simplistic, unsupportable cliche.
