so that’s already one reason

Not saying everyone supported it and their was many other reasons, but slavery was the largest divide between the two groups, most other issues could have been solved peacefully @IAN

they wanted states rights versus federal rights

thats another

and yes slavery

Yeah but why did they not want Lincoln as president? He didn’t support slavery, he was a republican

All other causes are branches off of slavery

Slavery was the most prominent issue dividing the groups

actually no

I gotta head to sleep

Economic reasons stem from slavery. The north industrialized and the south was agriculture based and relied on slaves

federal rights don’t branch off to just slavery

Economically, the North was better off without slavery cause they had enough immigrants to do menial tasks and after Uncle Tom’s Cabin and all the backlash from the Fugitive slave laws so they already had some resentment to slavery

Federal rights as in like, the government’s right to do shit? Yeah, to abolish slavery and implement it in the constitution as an amendment

Well it gets tricky there because with the Dred Scott decision, it basically said “slavery is legal everywhere” because they are properly and federal government can’t restrict property

I can bring back all of your points to slavery, but I just don’t understand, is your point that slavery isn’t the main cause of the war, or all the causes are equal?

you’re forgetting the economic points

Bruh.

no my point is that slavery isnt the only cause

werent you arguing about slavery being the only cause

Yeah, but all other causes circle back to slavery

It’s not the only cause but it’s the root cause

It’s the root cause

i agree with you

???

Slavery is the primary cause

Oh alright then

Nice

i guess it was a misunderstanding lol

I mean I guess and the unorganized Mexican territories were also a cause

But that was because they were uncertain about whether slavery should exist there

Yeah so

that is true

Remember the compromise of 1850? How they made california free soil and texas popular sovereignty?

Pissed ‘em off, but the confederate flag still is a stretch of a symbol

Yeah fair enough

I mean hell people are saying Poggers is racist

It’s all how you look at it

Haven't heard that one yet.

how?

It’s kinda new and small
