The North is no longer the Industrial Center and the South is no longer the Agricultural center of the country, depending on “slave” labor.

Interesting that you put slave in quotes. Why?

Lincoln couldn’t afford to lose the enormous income of the South’s Tariffs. That was his greatest concern and he expressed it. The E.P. was his “Excuse” and not his reason for waging war.

So revisionist history would have us believe. But rather than reinvent the wheel, perhaps my learned friend BroJoeK can point you to some past discussions that showed just how nonsensical your claims are. I'm a big believer in recycling.

Loser!
Economics are real, and you can’t make reality blow away every time your brain farts.
