I have yet to hear you acknowledge that the South was providing the vast majority of all income from Europe, and therefore was providing the vast majority of all funding for the Federal Government.

I did see you admit to 60%, which ought to prove the point even with the rest ignored, but it does not seem to have dawned on you that this money represents a motive. No, you flatly reject "money" as a motive, and insist that it was all about "social change" that wouldn't change if the South hadn't left.

Me? I always bet on money and power as a motive. That social justice warrior crap is just to fool the dupes. It's always about money and power.
