This thread sounds much like another. That one has soared into heights that I find fascinating but difficult to follow and well beyond my ability to contribute. In this one, I'd like to locate a reason for dissatisfaction and secession that had no connection to the peculiar institution.
We've covered in several threads the positions that tariffs, increasing federal power, diminishing southern polititical influence, denying the territories to slaveowning settlers, returning to the intent of the Founders, greedy northern capitalists, and on and on. My idea is to address, in a thread, positions for and against each other cause of the conflict, and how it was not related to slavery.
