Greed and power in the South. Enslavement of 3 million people to produce the cotton that made the South wealthy.
Own slaves, avoid war, don’t own slaves, it’s Cemetery Ridge, Franklin or Malvern Hill for you. The Southern Slave holding landed aristocracy own as much responsibility for Civil War as your one trick pony show of Lincoln/New York banker cabal planning and planning for a Civil War.
And completely in accordance with the laws of the United States and the US Constitution. Accepted by Washington DC and the New York power brokers so long as they were making money from it too.
If you are going to bitch about the South, you need to pick something that would have been different had they remained in the Union. So long as the South stayed part of the United States, those 3 million slaves were kept in Slavery by United States law.
So picking slavery to bitch about is just a form of lying about the real reason for the conflict. Lincoln was promising them all the slavery they could hope to have so long as they just kept following Washington DC law that required them to funnel all their money through New York.

Not really. They did nothing different from what they had always done before they consented to be part of the Union. Had they merely refrained from joining the Union in 1776, they would have had exactly what they wanted by seceding.
What changed was this idea that the landed aristocracy of the South would be required by law to keep their profits flowing through New York.
You are offering a dishonest argument about what happened. Slavery was legal under US law, yet you don't bitch about the legality of it as part of the United States. You only bitch about the immorality of it while it was ruled by the Confederacy. It was the same thing under the United States as it was under the Confederacy. No change.
You don't bitch about the Union slave states in which slavery lasted six months longer than it did in the Confederacy. Isn't that hypocritical to continue practicing slavery after it was abolished in the South?
