But what other reason than slavery did the south cecede for?

The Declaration of the Immediate Causes Which Induce and Justify the Secession of South Carolina from the Federal Union might be of some help.

You know how many times slaves, slavery, or slave-holding is mentioned in that document? 18. You know how many times tariffs, duties, or taxes are mentioned? 1.

I doubt it will help, although I appreciate the link.

Its been said many men are more firmly wed to their own ideas than to their spouse.

I’m seeing that in ‘real time’ on this thread.
