Yes, not much had happened. There had been no hostilities. Nothing had happened that netting their big concern couldn’t have addressed particularly when a potentially costly war was an alternative.

Yet the Corwin Amendment did not bring them back.

No place had a significant part of a country leave over slavery. It just didn’t happen anywhere. Even though slavery was not threatened in the US, even though leaving did threaten slavery, even though the North offered slavery effectively forever via express constitutional amendment, the Southern states left and did not return. Their main concern must not have been slavery.

In spite of Southern attempts.

LOL! If the South wasn't interested in talking before leaving why should we believe they would have been interested in talking after they left?

Besides, aren't you one of the ones who keep telling is the South left because of the tariff and Union economic oppression or something like that? And not because of slavery?

Their main concern must not have been slavery.

Oops. I spoke too soon.

You keep saying the South didn't rebel over slavery yet all the leaders of the period say that they did. I think I'll go along with them. They know what they were talking about.
