I was not discussing the reason for succession - I was discussing the reason for the war. THAT falls on the greed of the North.
Sorry!
“I was not discussing the reason for succession - I was discussing the reason for the war. THAT falls on the greed of the North.”
That is yet another romantic Confederate myth and an atrocious lie. The Confederacy was founded by conspirators who schemed to make themselves powerful and wealthy through the usurpation of governments with a view towards founding a slave empire encompassing the Southern U.S. states, Mexico, Cuba, and other regions in Latin America. They used the states rights issue as a phony excuse to rally the citizens of the Southern states to support their covert seizure of political and economic power.
Preservation of the union was the reason.
Owning another human to collect all the profits from his/her work is the ultimate greed.
