I cant stand this.
If it wasn’t about slavery, then why is slavery the main issue in each states secession orders??
[ If it wasn’t about slavery, then why is slavery the main issue in each states secession orders?? ]
BECAUSE!!!... of the controversy of demographics.. whether slaves would be considered citizens or “how much” of a citizen they were(1/3;1/2;1/4 etc.).. Determining “how many” representatives each State would have in the House of Representatives.. i.e. Apportionment.. Thats WHY?.....
The Civil War was “ABOUT” States Rights.. Not-> Slavery.. but slavery was indeed “an issue”..
