When enough people are the same kind of nuts, they aren’t nuts.
Bullsh*t. If you had bothered to spend an actual 5 seconds contemplating his, you would realize that with 15 slave states in the Union, it would take an additional 45 states in the Union to abolish slavery. 3/4ths vote for amendments, remember?
Slavery wasn't going anywhere, and all the bullsh*t i've heard over the years about "expanding" it is just that. Bullsh*t.
The facts of the case are this. New York and Washington DC had acquired enough power in congress to control virtually al the south's export production and import money. They had rigged the system so the south was paying the vast majority of all the taxes, while also enriching the New York power barons.
Allowing any other state to elect representatives that were allied with the Southern states might break up this flow of money they had rigged, and they were *NEVER* going to allow that to happen.
The South was producing 3/4ths of all trade with Europe, and New York and Washington DC people were getting rich off of it. So long as they could keep control of congress, they could make sure the South remained their milk cow. Southern independence threatened to break up this little money game, and *THAT* is why the North went to war.
Lincoln offered them even further protection for slavery, but it didn't change their minds at all. It did prove one thing. The Northern states did not give a crap about the continuation of slavery. And why not? They were making more money off of slavery than were the Southern states!
your position is illogical. If the south wasn’t worried about simple vote than why was all the fuss for 25 years.
I don’t say slavery WAS going anywhere I said that slavery COULD flourish somewhere where there wasn’t tobacco or cotton. you seem indirectly deny this simple obvious point.
That is the only point made and you cannot wrap your head around your own illogic.
Additionally you may need to bone up on other issues in the country impacting slavery and stop using the old saw the south uses to justify their practice of holding other human beings as slaves and tonight a war that killed so many americans.

If you admit the error of your original statement about tobacco and cotton, I may respond to your next reply. Otherwise, good night.
