BS. Some people need to go back to school. The effin yankees were taxing the South so much (neighborhood of 75% on some items) that the big thumb of the Federal Government was strangling them.
The taxation was a weapon used to end slavery but slavery was NOT the main cause of the war.
It truly was northern (federal) aggression. Similar to today where the liberlas try to push their warped ideology and trample our rights.
The main cause of the war was rebels firing on a United States fort. The main reason there was a rebellion was because of slavery.
Here’s a breakdown of the context of Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Texas’s ordinances of secession. Keep in mind that when the phrase states rights is used it’s almost exclusively to the right to travel freely with slaves, expansion of slavery into the western territories, holding slaves, etc.
Georgia: 56% Slavery; 23% Economic issues; 15% Context; 4% States’ Rights; 2% Lincoln’s Election
Mississippi: 73% Slavery; 20% Context; 3% States’ Rights; 4% Contest
South Carolina: 37% States’ Rights 41% Context; 20% Slavery; 2% Lincoln’s election
Texas; 54% Slavery; 21% States’ Rights; 15% Context; 6% Military Protection; 4% Lincoln’s Election
You can look at the documents yourself and verify what I have posted.
Even if you consider it the War of Northern Aggression these things are still true:
Southern slave owners were all Democrats.
They attempted to carve out a separate nation.
