“Grifter” = Leftist label for anyone online with an opinion they disagree with

As is typical, you bring no evidence, not even circumstantial

How specifically is Matt Walsh a “grifter”?

Here's a question that no one has ever answered for me If the war was fought over slavery, why didn't the southern states return to the Union and ratify the Corwin Amendment? Why did non slave holding states ratify it?

The Confederacy seceded over slavery; the Union fought to stop the Confederacy from seceding.

People get themselves twisted into knots because they assume/pretend the two sides were fighting for the same reason when they weren’t. Anyone who reads the declarations of secession from the Confederate states and the Emancipation Proclamation will have it laid out for them in fairly plain language.

You are halfway right.

Yes, the secession documents and the Confederate Constitution specifically discuss the rights of the states to maintain slavery. However, the Corwin Amendment would have Constitutionally protected slavery from being abolished by the Federal government. Why ten was this not enough to bring the Confederate states back into the Union? Because it was about more than slavery.

The ridiculousness of these content clowns with their obsessive need to have incendiary opinions on a near consistent basis.

Isn't he a publicly known cuck?

The tariffs of 1828 and 1832 protected budding Northern industry and triggered an economic boom but a great depression that lasted a decade in the South. That utterly destroyed the brotherhood between the regions that was forged in the Revolutionary War.

Add to that the great raft of immigrants in the North who had no such bond, the rift had grown wide and the distrust deep.

The Federal Government had put mechanisms in place to prevent the spread of slavery. Southern planters were looking to expand and buy land in places like Kansas,Nebraska, Arizona in particular. In Kansas you saw how hard both sides were willing to fight over the issue. The South thought that they would fare better separately and thought that they would then compete with the Union out West.

Neither side would relent on the issue. Northern settlers and immigrants moving west did not want the level of competition on the Agricultural end. You would have large farmers using slave labor that would freeze out the settlers and immigrants. Northern politicians were no longer going to give in, plus states likee CA , Oregon and Nevada were tipping the scales in favor of the Union out west and slavery had been a non starter for them.

If the Southern planter class could not expand their holdings in land, they did not see much of a reason to cooperate even with the Corwin Amendment in place
