Was slavery the only reason the North went to war with the South?

>>137953785
The North didn't go to war with the South over slavery.

It was mostly taxation

North wanted to raise taxes the south

Slavery was an important part of the South's ability to produce cotton,

It's really just a half truth and shitty history lesson to say it was only about slavery, which was outlawed by George Washington 70 years before the civil war

>>137953879
It was a large issue, slaves were relatively the most valuable commodity in america's history and was 70%+ of the profit producing labor of the south

>>137954432
It wasn't an issue at all. The North went to war to keep the South in the federation. Draping it in slavery morality came later.

The only reason anyone goes to war is economics.
Ever.

you fucking retard.

>It was a large issue
Why didnt they ban it in their own country first?

The North never really cared about ending slavery. That is not why the war started.

The emancipation proclamation was a purely political move by Abraham Lincoln to keep France and Britain from intervening on the side of the Confederacy.

You know, the North wanted to be the moral "good" guys.

Would Britain or France want to support a slave state like the CSA against a free state like the USA? Nope, it would look bad for two countries who had already outlawed slavery.

The South went to war with the North though.

Read "The Cornerstone Speech", which was the Confederacy's Declaration of Independence, then read the Articles of Confederation, which was their Constitution. There were many issues discussed in both documents, but slavery was a constant theme.

>Our new government is founded upon exactly the opposite ideas; its foundations are laid, its cornerstone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is not equal to the white man; that slavery, subordination to the superior race, is his natural and normal condition.

That's stupid and immature. Individuals are motivated by all sorts of things. Sometimes economics is the cause. But countries don't run themselves, there are people in charge of them, all of whom are motivated by all sorts of different things. Did Hitler go to war over economics? Germany could have quite possibly dominated the world economically at the time without invading anyone.

>>137957502
I am pretty sure the North sent troops down south

Everyone in the north, INCLUDING LINCOLN, thought the EXACT SAME THING.

The world isn't fucking black and white you stupid fucking nigger lover.

Jews.

It's the only reason why wars even exist

Google is hard

>>137959820
OK but that still means the north went to war

You are so incredible stupid...

Hitler took big loans from France and England and instead of paying them back he invades

>>137953785
>the North went to war with the South

> war broke out in April 1861, when Confederates attacked Fort Sumter in South Carolina, shortly after Abraham Lincoln was elected.

Jews occupied Britian and France and led them to war with Germany for the same reason the north declared war on the south. The same reason the revolutionary War happened.
JEWS and their filthy monopoly money!

Power Structures wanted to implode the US even back then and/or set things in motion.

Each side had different Power Groups supporting them.
