I would need to compile some sources. Jefferson and Madison were involved in drawing up a document involving some of this. Let me get back to you.

You bring up some very interesting arguments as well. If you don't mind where is that information coming from?

Frankly, just general study of the conditions that lead to the Civil War. I am a "buff" of sorts, but unlike many who study the battles and tactics, I have been more interested in the political, social and economic issues that lead the nation to civil war.

I can document each of my points but it would be weeks of study for you to understand the demographics and economic drivers of the sections.

If your care, I can start sending you links.
