>>17852044>The reason for secessionTariffs. The north had protective tariffs on imported manufactured finished goods, and the Euro nations had tariffs on imported raw materials like cotton. The south wanted out so they could negotiate their own international trade.
BTW the north only freed slaves because otherwise they'd have lost. Using blacks as cannon fodder was a necessity, and causing slave revolts in the south helped destabilize the confederacy.
Lincoln said if he could have preserved the union without freeing slaves then he would have done so.
Modern retards continue to try to rewrite history, make it about blacks, but the truth is they are and will always be irrelevant.
