*** And even it was marred by the constant drumbeat about slavery. Yes, the primary issue as to why The War of Northern Aggression was fought, ***

I believe the Civil War came about because of financial matters, and slavery was a “throw in”, a way to raise passions, and garner support.

The primary motivating factor, as I was taught, is that the North needed the South’s cotton for it’s textile mills. But the South wanted to sell to England because England was paying a much better price for the cotton.

The other factors matter, and aren’t small. State’s rights and slavery were big, but the economics were the primary motivating factor.

“Don't throw away your Confederate money boys, the South shall rise again!”
