"Since the war was fought over the money and trade that was produced through slavery, then no, without the slavery, there would have been no money for Northern powers to fight over, but then also, the Northern powers would have never gotten so strong without that same slavery."

Excellent treatise. These are the very points I have made to my fellow reenactors in the past.

I wounder subsequently if the Americas would have had the will or power to execute the revolution and decouple from England without the wealth that slavery provided the North and the South?

Thanks. I had none of this information just a few years ago. I have only recently realized what actually happened in the Civil War, and I have only done so because I kept reading about so many things regarding it which didn't make any sense.

I very greatly doubt they would have had either the will or the means to leave England without the wealth and power they had obtained through slavery and slave trading.
