    Quote from Cuuldude »

    I play the best instrument in the world. The trombone.

    And also the euphonium, the baritone, the piano and the penny whistle.

    And I compose.

    Strange i would think you would play the sniper...the plot thickens

    On the contrary, I'm pretty sure the troops were on government soil (a military base). The South couldn't forcibly secede THAT from the Union. They could only secede their own territory. (Well, actually they couldn't do that either, but they did anyway.)

    You could debate it but the point was they had taken most military bases and the one in question was near a major port that the south needed to make sure was secure. And the whole secession issue was up in the air at that time. It wasnt until the civil war ended that we stopped being a band of states united and become a power hungry country like everyone else.

    North.
    Racism aside, the South struck first. They treated it as their own revolutionary war, even though they really didn't need to.

    They struck first because union troops were still stacioned on Confederate soil. The north was sending in armored ships to resupply the soldiers. Now tell me why would you send armored ships to resupply soldiers that are very close to a major port town?

    Quote from Garret

    Tariffs were designed to protect emerging US industrial capital. The antipathy of the South to the tariffs was based on its fear of emerging industry and a less developed fear of retaliation from other countries on its cotton.

    The Nullification and Secession crisis of 1832, when the most despicable of despicable slave states, South Carolina, decided it would nullify the tariffs enacted by Congress against industrial good imported through its ports, and then claimed it would secede if the federal government attempted to interfere was really about protecting the slave system from the growth of Northern industry.

    are you really sure about that? Because many Slave states didnt receive money from their crops shipped overseas they received manufactured goods. The tariffs put a tax on those goods that many farmers had trouble paying. As such they could rarly sell overseas and were forced to sell to the north where they could control the price at which it sold and many farmers could barly feed their familys. The Nullification and Secession crisis of 1832 was i agree a very rash choice but they had to to protect the small farmer. I bet you didnt know that the only reason the other states didnt join South Carolina was because they had troops with cannons pointed at them right outside where they were voting. The military pointing its guns at a state government doesnt sound so right does it? Btw the slave system was protected until abolition really started to make a difference. Then no one in the north really cared about slavery and decided they had to abolish it while they're also milking the south dry.

    Slavery was always the issue. Everything the South did from 1819 on was to preserve and expand slavery and limit the expansion of the "free" North.

    The Missouri Compromise was about preserving and expanding slavery.

    The Nullification and Secession crisis of 1832 was about protecting slavery from the expanding power of the industrial north.

    The Mexican-American War was about preserving and expanding slavery, and it was a war taken by the South, for the South, with the South controlling the government and the military.

    The Kansas-Nebraska Act was about preserving and expanding slavery. And it was this act, leading to "Bleeding Kansas"-- the rehearsal for the Civil War, that fractured the Northern from the Southern Democrats, destroyed the Whigs and led to the creation of the Republican Party-- an organization founded on the principle that "political compromise with slavery was no longer possible."

    The South initiated the Civil War to protect slavery. That the North responded to "preserve" the Union does not change the fact that the Union could not be preserved without abolishing slavery.

    In this case, war and profit coincided with the abolition of slavery.

    then why was the battle crys of confederate troops never about slavery? Why did many southern politicians fight against the tariff? YOu say war and profit coincided with slavery but what you dont see is that slavery is about profit. So yes slavery was a part of the civil war but only as a way for the south to make money which was being stolen from them. which is worse making money or having money stolen from you? Yes all the laws that you mentioned were about slavery but they were also about money. The money that the south desperatlly needed to have so it could survive with high tariffs and low selling costs of their crops. So yes slaver y is a small part of the civil war. congratulations you just homed in on the ant on the picnic blanket while the rest of the ants are eating your food
