Hey Diogenes Lamp. I thought you were gone. But I see you are back. Since you seem to be an expert on all things Civil War, I will repeat a question I asked a while back.
Why did the South secede? What reasons did they give in their official documents? Please note that I consider their official documents to be the Articles of Secession that each state legislature put out (if you do not consider the Articles of Secession to be their official position, I would like to understand why, and what their official position was). I’m really interested in what you think Mississippi’s reason for secession was was (don’t forget South Carolina, either).
I’m really looking forward to hearing your succinct position as to why the South seceded, as I am sure many other posters are.
To quote Chester Nimitz, “The world wonders”.
Money. That's also why the North invaded. Nobody gave a sh*t about the slaves. This as all about who was going to get the money they produced.
If the war had anything to do with the suffering of the black man, Lincoln would not have tried to push the Corwin amendment on the Nation.
The War had nothing to do with it until it became politically advantageous and militarily beneficial to pretend to care about it.
