The proper sequence is to identify an event, then look for an explanation.
But it seems like here we’re starting with the explanation, then trying to tack it on to an event.
No disrespect meant to the original poster. Just my two cents.
And thanks to BidenInflation, two cents ain’t worth much anymore.
We've had an "explanation" all our lives. We have always been taught that the civil war was about slavery and nothing else.
I believed this for most of my life, and then I stumbled across some information that doesn't make any sense. (Like why Northern states had slavery too, but they didn't get rid of it there first.)
The South was actually producing the vast majority of money funding the national government, but somehow all the money was ending up in Northern pockets.
A war about money makes a lot more sense than a war about morality. Throughout history, most wars have been about money, land and power. Not too many people go to war because they feel sorry for some group of people. That didn't really make sense.

No worries. I believed what most people believe for most of my life.
