OK you win....but if I remember correctly, the north was blocking ports so the south was stuck. It was economics that started the war, slavery being only a part of it....and being pushed around by the government was also part of it. Taxes were also... Just like we are all bitching about now...the old saying that was****save your Confederate money boys the south shall rise again... But you have to be right on, it was all about slavery...
...but if I remember correctly, the north was blocking ports so the south was stuck. The blockade was not announced until April 19, 1861. After the Confederates fired on Sumter.
It was economics that started the war, slavery being only a part of it...
Then why is slavery the single most given reason for secession?
......and being pushed around by the government was also part of it.
How were the Southern states being pushed around by the government?
