The primary cause, as enunciated by the slaver’s themselves, was the Peculiar Institution. All other considerations took a far distant second place to slavery.
“...The 8th Census of the United States, conducted in 1860, which you can look through here, put the percentage of Americans who owned slaves at just under 5%. Of those, the vast majority owned only a handful of slaves or less. Slave ownership was concentrated in the hands of a small subset of the Southern population, usually referred to as the “Planter Class”....”
Sure...All the others were more concerned about slaves than they were concerned about the exorbitant price of goods needed from the north...Prices set by the taxes and tariffs instilled by the industrial north...
The non slave owners weren’t worried about their own living expenses, only about slavery that they had no hand in....
Yeah.....Right...
