“Sounds like a rationalization.”
Sounds like a pointing out of hypocrisy to me.
Of course, the North didn’t fight the South over slavery. They fought to force them to remain in the Union at the point of a gun.
The British opinion of all this was interesting, to say the least. “So, it’s OK to secede from us, but damn them from trying to secede from you.”

What a stupid statement, apparantly it wasn't "OK" for us to secede from GB, else we wouldn't have had to fight the revolutionary war.
I'd love to see the source for that quote.

Actually the opinion of the Brits was ‘how barbaric, the institution of slavery’ and thats why they didn’t intervene.
You can look that up, btw.
