Slavery was a minor part of it as was tariffs.

The main thing to both North and South was whether we would be an all powerful centralized government or one of power being retained by the states as the Constitution clearly states.

The North called themselves “The Union” while the Confederates thought of themselves as fighting for their homes and states.

These threads usually degenerate into nonsense but they do accomplish one thing.

A lot of vermin come out of the wood work. Several have been outed in previous years as Obama supporters etc.

Abraham Lincoln was strongly supported by none other than Karl Marx.
