[Non-Sequitur]

Prelude perhaps but not the tipping point which would be the Morril Tariff which was a wholesale plunder.

Nice try. The Morrell Tariff wasn't passed until after the seven original confederate states had seceded. The tipping point was the election of Lincoln and what the South saw as the threat to their ability to expand slavery.

[Republic_of_Secession.]

Nice try but Virgina / Tennessee / North Carolina & Arkansas seceded only AFTER & the original states seceded & after hostilities started because they saw North's response as un-constitutional & the Morill Tariff was what spurred the Southern Nationalist movement - without which the CSA wold never have gotten off the ground as the average impoverished Southron would never have defended their country if all that was at stake was slavery especially considering that most Southerners did not own slaves [ only 6 % of the Southern population did as most Southerners were poor ] & that a lot of White Southerners were only a few generations away from being slaves themselves as the first slaves in North America were White. The election of Lincoln was hardy a threat to the slave owners as he had promised not to interfere with slavery having no intention of even doing so. Notice that he passed the so called Emancipation Proclamation only as a war measure late in the game & it only applied to areas he had no control over while he allowed slavery to continue within his own jurisdiction in the North. Lincoln was the far left tyrant of his day who was the precursor to Hitler / Stalin / Mao & Pol Pot.
