MARKINGRAM22 05/07/17 12:41:07 AM #7:	It was part of it, but Lincoln would have dropped it if it meant preserving the union, and it isn't like the people fighting for the south were slave owners. The people who owned slaves were a very small percent of people with money that weren't going to fight. As you said, Lincoln didn't care, had many conflicting quotes, and was very oppressive in how he ran his govt. Doesn't mean either side was right, but like most wars, both sides are led by corrupt politicians. --- "That man practices Islam.

iosifsvoboda 05/07/17 12:52:36 AM #14:	Iirc the south was really really upset about a tariff they set up that benefit northern textile business but ended up negatively affected the southern agricultural sector. The opponents of Lincoln were fearful that he was going to abolish slabery when he was running for president and Lincoln ended up emancipating them once the way started as way to undermine them --- ^_^ <cite>iosifsvoboda posted [p:878619313] in Was the ci...
