The South did so in order to preserve an economy based on the use of slave labor.
Yeah, nothing like the economy based on voluntary servitude and forcing immigrants off the ship straight into a uniform like in the North. Slavery comes in many forms, even mental slavery.

Anyway, you do recognize some economic causes for the war.
Does Taxation enter your pea brain as a cause?
Do you even know what Fort Sumter was?

Do you recognize States' Rights or are all of the States/America just some big old Federal enclave with no rights at all?

Cite a source for “forcing immigrants off the ship straight into a uniform like in the North.” If you can. Even esteemed historians with a Southern leaning, such as Douglas S. Freeman and Shelby Foote, never made such a claim.
