Disagree. The southern ruling class bled their country dry to maintain their supply of cheap labor. Once out of enough men they stopped.
These days our ruling class also clings bitterly to their supply of cheap labor coming across the border. They will kill to keep it.
Just my humble opinion.
C.W.
Just my humble opinion.

Not disagreeing with your opinion, but cheap labor helps
keep cost lower for all users, poor, rich or in between.
And this is the lie told by their Rich Wealthy powerful corrupt DC controlling Liberal elite enemies.
The evil people in that conflict were the rich Northerners who launched a war against them to keep that Southern money flowing into their own pockets.
"Slavery" is the lie. The North passed the Corwin Amendment which would have guaranteed permanent slavery in the US.
The Northern power brokers are the liars and the people who were motivated by evil greed.
Slavery had not a d@mn thing to do with why Northern armies invaded the South.
