“The damnyankees made huge fortunes on the slave trade and only turned against slavery when the slave trade was outlawed.”
You are making my point. There was no money in it for the North. Q.E.D.
Bullschit.
Your #396 post strongly implies that the north was always against slavery and that if was only the evil planters in the South that was for it:
The North could not make money from slavery and was against it. The South could make huge amounts of money from slavery and were for it.
You statement would be more accurate if you had written: 'The north began to oppose slavery when they could no longer profit from the slave trade.'
