I said:Southerners were tired of the Northerners taxing them to death and then some. This is what started (from what I was taught)the whole thing. The slavery issue wasn't even brought in until much later. you said:PatiBob: Northerners taxing the South to death as cause for a Southern split from the Union? Hmmmmmm....that's an interesting idea. Yup, I'd love to see some data on it. Ok, here's a couple of links to explore. civilwarhome.com suite101.com cwc.lsu.edu I'm only passing on what I was told by relatives and what I was taught in grade school. I don't deny that the issue of slavery was the focal point of the war itself. Remember that there were Northerners who were slave holders as well and they also had indentured servants such as the Irish. But speaking of machine guns. I think I favor this approach where weapons are concerned: surefireproducts.com Paint balls, anyone? ;-) LOL! Good idea John! PB
