One might put forth the proposition that the Southern Slave Powers chose the perpetuity of their peculiar institution over the perpetuity of the United States.
And in doing so guaranteed their failure and demise.

Things were going so well - until post 387 - when the side losing the debate decided it needed to play the “Southern Slave Powers” card signaling the debate is over and they won. See also: “Race Card play in modern America.” See also: “How Nazi’s won the 2016 election”

It is the *ONLY* thing your side will claim. You will not entertain a discussion of any issue EXCEPT slavery, and you hypocritically ignore the fact that Union slave states continued to be Slave States throughout the War.
Your entire F***ing argument orbits the slavery issue in the manner the planets of the solar system orbit the Sun. The reason you do this is because it is the *ONLY* ex post facto morality upon which you have a leg to stand.
Take away your precious slavery issue, (which is nothing but an after the fact morality) and it becomes clear that the Union was an evil agent of invasion and conquest of a people who had done it no wrong. It was an invasion to restore the money stream (tribute) to which the Northern power interests had become accustomed.
You gravitate towards the slavery issue like a moth to a flame because without it there is no way to justify the murders and destruction caused by forcing Federal control on people who did not want it.
Focusing on slavery is nothing but salve for your side's conscious. It is a fake issue. The real issue was money and control.
