“One of the greatest ironies of the lie that the war of northern aggression was fought to free the slaves was, while Lincoln was reading his FIRST emancipation proclamation, slaves in Maryland (and still Delaware, IIRC) were loading federal trains with munitions to prosecute the war.
That’s a stone-cold fact.
Slavery ultimately becomes a net economic loss. Had the war truly been about slavery, Lincoln would’ve manumitted the NORTH’s, the Union’s slaves FIRST.
It was about control of sugar, tobacco, corn, fiber (cotton), the prices, the cut, and distribution by wealthy northern globalists.
The “Civil War” was America’s Second revolutionary war and the good guys lost.”
Indeed. Thank you!
Anyone insisting they are an expert on the causes of the War Between the States should remember that in all wars, it is the winners who write the history books.

Yes, and while the South advocated low tariffs the North enforced high protectionist tariffs which transferred more of the South’s wealth to the industrial states.
