Now that the dust has settled, we all can agree the the North vs. South thing was all faggotry and the real civil war was Missouri defending herself from all invaders, yeah?

the declarations of secession of the confederate states cite white supremacy and slavery as the reasons for going to war.
yes the north was some bullshit carpetbaggers but that doesn't change the fact that the rebel flag and the confederacy were about racism

The North had no right to obliterate the southern Economy over night, without a valid replacement. Mechanized farm work (tractors etc..) were only a few years away from widespread implementation, and this should have been taken into account by Lincoln and the North Before calling for emancipation of slaves.
It was literally impossible for southern agriculturists to convert over night to an entirely new ( and useless/outdated) business model, when slavery could have persisted (under a provisionary case) untill the workforce could be replaced by machines.
I have no idea how typical, detached Northerners cannot cognitively understand the immense un-seeable infrastructure that underlined human (or slave) driven venture. How could they have not understood that simply "freeing the slaves" would have FAR FAR more consequences than just "HURR hire somebody for a fair wage".
Its the same Northern city people today, that destroy the fabric of agricultural or "country' life, that have not a single iota of an idea on what it means to live and survive by the sweat of your brow and the blood of your flesh.

Why is the south so fucking obsessed with the north lmao? Literally no one in the north talks about the south at all.

You say that like racism is bad thing.

I am with you, but I am talking about MO specifically.

Why did the north keep the south at gunpoint?

The lost cause is only lost if the South endorses the fake Northern history of their war of aggression.
When Lincoln said in his inaugural address that he was going to collect the imposts, excuses and duties; he was declaring war against the South.
The federal revenues were collected in the South, spent in the North and the no good Yankees were not going to allow that to end.
