Does smooth's assessment of myself overwrite my self assessment?

[frankenbeemer]

Actually he is correct. It was fought over economics of cotton in the south and manufacturing in the north. Slavery was brought into it to push the war. You going to tell me that only the south owned slaves in the day?

No he is not entirely correct. Slavery WAS the economics of cotton. While the tariffs were troublesome to the economy of the south, slavery was a far greater concern and had been since the Missouri Compromise.


South Carolina adopted the "Declaration of the Immediate Causes Which Induce and Justify the Secession of South Carolina from the Federal Union" on 24 Dec 1860, which states in part:



We affirm that these ends for which this Government was instituted have been defeated, and the Government itself has been made destructive of them by the action of the non-slaveholding States. Those States have assume the right of deciding upon the propriety of our domestic institutions; and have denied the rights of property established in fifteen of the States and recognized by the Constitution; they have denounced as sinful the institution of slavery; they have permitted open establishment among them of societies, whose avowed object is to disturb the peace and to eloign the property of the citizens of other States. They have encouraged and assisted thousands of our slaves to leave their homes; and those who remain, have been incited by emissaries, books and pictures to servile insurrection.

I'm not going to argue that slavery did not play a part in the southern economics of cotton. But by the 1860's great advancements in technology such as the cotton gin was already being used. Again the GIN was being produced by the north as well as other innovations.

Slaves for the most part were treated well. They had to because they were the working force. You beat them, they dont work as hard. After slavery many stayed working in the same place where they were "enslaved" because it was work. It was what they knew and yet they were free to go. If you go talk to many families that are in the south with roots to slavery, they did not see it as such a bad thing at the time and many still have respect to those they worked for.
