Asked Of Abraham Lincoln...
“Why not let the South go in peace?”
Response Of Abraham Lincoln...
“I can’t let them go. Who would pay for the government?”

hey..thanks for that.
Looks interesting. Is it something one can read or is it pages upon pages of statistics?
The South lost 70% of its net worth (as human capital) the day that the Emancipation Proclamation was signed. A pen was mightier than the sword. Ink did more damage than lead bullets.
Serious reading. I waded through it about 20 years ago. Changed my view on the CW dynamic.
