Why did South Carolina, Jefferson Davis, and John C. Calhoun represent the issue as being primarily about race, not tariffs? Why was the immediate issue over the extension of slavery into the territories, when that was no guarantee that that would bring agreement on tariffs? Sure, there were other issues: slavery was central. I do not think it is ideological of me to take Jefferson Davis at his word.....

The European Immigrants who came to New England in the
1900's would quite agree. The Textile and Paper Mills were
the height of SLAVERY in this Nation..They were subjected to horrifying conditions and they lived in Company Houses, shopped at the Company Stores and "Owed their Soul" to the
Company store. The good "Old English Barons" were not particular what the color or race of their slaves were either..
