This debate has taken off...let's see if we can revive it. When the souther states were deciding whether or not to seceed, the #1 selling point was slavery. |

From civalwar.bluegrass.net
The southern states seceded because the government was going to abolish slavey. According to the constitiution they were well within their rights to do so. Lincoln went to war to preserve the union not end slavery, he only did that in order to lure the slaves in the confedrate army in to defecting. |

Very interesting. So one would say that if slavery wasn't an issue, the southern states wouldn't have seceeded and so there wouldn't have been a war, yes? |

Fair enough...I guess that was a bit of speculation on my part. |
