Zeev, <<Stitch, I thought part of the conflict between the North and the South was also on the critical issue of "federalism vs confederalism", the former providing more power to the federal government than the South was willing to give.>> Zeev, you are quite right the rejection of federalism by the South was, (and is) a major consideration in the divergence of the regions. Through this vehicle, which was seen by some Northerners as a red herring and by some Southerners as the heart of the issues, the rubber met the road on specifics such as slavery, import taxes, etc. "States rights" continues to be a well debated topic, not just in the south. Fortunately those that agonize over the issues can usually find succor in the constitution. Best, Stitch
