Go over to reddit and say that it wasn't started primarily over slavery and watch how many downvotes you get before a mod bans you.

It was started over cotton production and the North wanting to tax/control the products grown in the South. Slavery was secondary. It was A reason, but not THE reason.

The TL;DR is that the South hated the fact that the North basically increasingly wanted to reap the benefits of the South's production, and the South didn't take kindly to that.

I'm pretty white. Mostly Irish and Polish.

There's one Lord and Savior, but his name isn't floyd. It's not Wincel either.

We don't call it the "Second American Revolution".

We call it the "War of Northern Aggression".

"Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery--the greatest material interest of the world,"

That’s Mississippi’s declaration of succession. Many of other rebel states were as open and crystal clear.

If anyone wants to know why a vast majority of southerners fought for the South, this is the reason, what Lee talked about was the reason.

Georgia

“The people of Georgia having dissolved their political connection with the Government of the United States of America, present to their confederates and the world the causes which have led to the separation. For the last ten years we have had numerous and serious causes of complaint against our non-slave-holding confederate States with reference to the subject of African slavery.”

It goes on that way.

Let me guess, you're a liberal phayget?

You fuks always love to use logical fallacies in your arguments. In this case, you're using selective attention.

Sure, slavery was a reason. You don't have to go far to find examples of slavery being cited as a reason. There were opponents of slavery in the north that that were starting to get loud, and of course the south didn't like that.

What your pea brain is missing is that there were OTHER reasons as well.

Again, slavery was A reason, it wasn't THE reason.

The South didn't like the direction the North was going in across multiple topics, one of them being slavery, but it was the oppressive "big federal government" that minimized individual state's rights, and unfairly taxed the southern states, that they took most issue with.

Please go back to reddit, where you guys can take part in the circle jerk in the incorrect views echo chamber.

It was the “but for cause” - if it wasn’t for slavery the civil war never would have happened. You can cite culture this, traditions that, that most southerners didn’t own slaves, none of it was have cause the hundreds of thousands of Americans to slaughter each other.

One show that hit hard years ago was called "Andersonville". The idea that we would do that to our own, on both sides, is very sickening. The war, like most, was a complete waste.

General Werz (iirc) was the only soldier charged with war crimes in the war.

I enjoy most history, though the older the better! I watched the Ken Burns documentary which I found very interesting. Seems peppered with some real characters. Also some truly horrific battles and aftermaths.

But I think the idea is that the union states were upset they didn’t have power/control or access to the money generated by the confederate slavery operations

It was over slavery. Here's the proof.

You're wrong, but I also don't agree that slavery is the ONLY reason. But it is the MAIN one. The US was expanding West and that was creating a lot of friction between the North and the South over which states would be free states and which ones would be slave states. You had Bleeding Kansas, and the beating of Charles Sumner in the Senate Chamber. These events all concerned which states abolished slavery and which ones allowed it.

I'm pretty sure most historians are in unanimous agreement that these hostilities were the turning point that would erupt in civil war. So yes, slavery was at the HEART of the reasons that started the Civil War.
