About the economic reasons why the North could not allow the South to be free of their control? He probably knew nothing of it.

So you're saying Mosby had no idea what he was actually fighting about? Poor guy.

Had the North not stopped the South, the South would have become an economic powerhouse and wrecked countless Northern industries.

So you would have us believe.

Poor attempt by you to put words in my mouth that I didn't say. All that Mosby needed to know is that his homeland was invaded. That is all that is necessary to understand when it comes to a man's need to fight.

So do the economic records indicate. So too do the Newspaper editorials of the time predict. (On both sides.)

The South produced 3/4ths of all European trade. They had 1/4th the citizenry of the Northern States. Much money, low population, they would have been prosperous.
