But but but, it was just about the south wanting to own slaves!
It was about states rights. One state right mainly....

As long as we have bread and circuses, never.just curious when it is going to spark off again
Read the document I posted. They make it very clear.
All other states that seceded issued similar documents. The "states rights" rhetoric came many years later.

This is what Col. John S. Mosby - who ought to know a thing or two about the matter - had to say in 1907 about what was being said at the time was the cause of the civil war:

I knew of all his exploits during the Civil War during grade school, him and the Swamp Fox were two of my boyhood heroes. I didn't realize until a few years ago after reading a book about him what he did after the war. I think him and President Lincoln would have got along good.

Inflation was rampant because the South didn't have the infrastructure/economy to provide for their own states AND the war effort.
If it wasn't for the Union Army's YUGE logistics forts/bases that the Confederate Army raided/overran; the War would have probably ended six months sooner.

From Maryland Northward; all states made slavery illegal.
Maryland dragged their ass on freeing their slaves and abiding by the new anti-slavery laws.
