It was called the correct term “war of Northern Aggression”. The South rightfully wanted to secede. If your daughter or son wanted to leave the house and venture out, why stop them?

In this case, the South was producing most of the money funding the Federal government, and much of the money fueling Northern shipping, banking, warehousing, insurance and other interests.

Allowing the South to leave would have taken 200 million dollars per year out of the hands of the "elite" running Washington DC.

But yes, the South should have been allowed to leave without resistance.

It was a “Perpetual Union.”

BS. Slavery was the largest source of revenue.

Selling and buying human beings.
