So your only concern is the economic damage that it would cause in the North.

My concern is demonstrating why the North had a very powerful motive to launch a war against the South, and one which had nothing at all to do with concern about the South's peculiar institution.

I think the changes caused by independence would have caused a massive economic boom in the South, and so too thought the various Southern Newspapers of the time, and so too thought various Northern Newspapers of the time.

As I am attempting to clarify the dominant cause of the war, it is relevant. I have been misled for most of my life into believing the war was fought because slavery was bad, but I have learned in the last few years that this is the cover story for the real reason, and the real reason is because Southern independence was a grave economic threat to the same North Easter power interests who are *STILL F***ING WITH THE REST OF US TODAY!*

Honest to God, I noticed decades ago that every F***ing thing wrong with the nation seems to emanate from the Northeaster portion of the United States, Namely Massachusetts, New York, and Washington DC.

The News Media liars are orchestrated out of New York, and they literally lie about our President on a daily basis. I found out years ago, that everything on Television tends to be New York centric. As if New York is the center of the Nation, while all of us people out here in "flyover land" are considered backward rubes who should let our "betters" think for us.

I recall in 1995 when all the talking heads on the News media laughed at and ridiculed the idea that the Federal government should live within it's budget, and they regarded efforts to balance the federal government as irresponsible.

Since the disdain that the powerful people of New York feel towards the rest of is happening right now it was not so much of leap to think it has been going on a very long time. Even so far back as the 1850s. I see many parallels between what is going on right now and the same sort of arrogance and control of the money that was going on back then.
