I applaud you for the time and effort you put into formulating that sentence.
The Civil War was a war between the New York Robber Barons and their Washington DC corruptocracy, and the Southern states who were going to trade directly with Europe and thereby cost them hundreds of millions, if not billions of dollars in losses to their industries.
They didn't want people looking at this, so they called it a war about "slavery", but the Corwin amendment proves quite conclusively that the North did not go to war with the South to get rid of slavery. They went to war with the South to make sure they didn't wreck the income streams of the powerful men who had Washington DC in their pocket.
Just like today, with those same New York/Washington DC rogues running the same sort of "deep state" crony capitalist corruptocracy.
Did you not see how hard New York and Washington DC proxies fought to stop Kavanaugh from getting a Supreme Court seat? Did you see how hard New York and Washington DC proxies fought to keep Roy Moore out of the Senate?
You need to wake up. Our enemy today is the same enemy the Confederates faced in 1860. They still own the propaganda sources now as they did in 1860.
Trade, you say?
What kind of industry is most profitable? The answer will tell us what conjures the energy to start wars.
It’s not the peanut trade, and it’s not popcorn. Could it be textiles? How about semiconductors?
Maybe it’s the oil industry. Well, no—it’s gotta be the methamphetamine market, or even more likely, heroin.
Actually, the most profitable trade—now, then and for all time—is human trafficking. Otherwise known as slavery, in the democrat tradition.
The fight over slavery sparked and fueled the Civil War.
