<<We had slavery for decades without war.>> There was violence and near war virtually every time a new state entered the union and threatened to tip the balance of power between the free and slave states. <<The hostilities commenced when the South seceded. Hence, secession caused the war, not slavery.>> The South seceded because the abolitionist Republicans won the election. The record here is very clear. <<Do you think war would have resulted had the South kept slavery but not seceded?>> As i've said: every time a new state entered the union and the free vs. slave issue came up, the nation nearly careened into war. As long as we were expanding and slavery was not, we were on the verge of war. Steve
