The civil war of 1861 had nothing to do with slavery. It was the south seceding over loss of representation in the house. As more states were brought into the union, it was very apparent that the number of free states will be out voting the south. This was all about states rights and the right to secede from the union. Mr. Lincoln disagreed even though it is clearly documented that the right to leave is stated.

Down here in the south, it is still called the war of northern aggression.

You left out the part about the Southern states paying 73% of all the taxes paid to the Federal Government.

You need to give this a little more thought.
