Stevens (R and Y) <<If you read it again, carefully, you'll see that the issue that really precipitated the war was tariff policy. Slavery just sounded better.>> In fact, to go even a step further, it was also about a growing schism between North and South. One was industrialising while the other was largely agricultural and grew raw materials. Instead of evolving into a natural partnership the two sides became increasingly wary of one another and increasingly arrogant about their own role in a unified United States. And so it is still to this day in many ways. It is amazing how history has written this episode as if it were a single issue (slavery). It has been misleading to an extreme. Sadly, those that were initially misled were the black immigrants who left the south in droves believing they would realize a much more just existence in the cities of the North. Best, Stitch
