Read the debates in congress. Slavery was THE hot button issue that drove the north and south to war. No matter what Southern "revisionists" will tell us.

The ONLY reason that slavery was an issue AT ALL was because of the sanctions and tariffs the North forced on the South. A black vote being equivalent to 2/3 a white vote was put into the Constitution BY THE NORTH!
