States Rights, was the main issue.

i was always taught it was to free the slaves. but i went to school in a place that didnt get communized until the nineties.

They did so well with the holocaust that, at this point, I don’t believe almost anything that I’ve been told was the cause of the civil war. Think about it. Did that shit even happen?

Non slavery states were somewhat equal to slavery states and they didn't want to allow new states with slavery to enter the union allowing non slave states to pass legislation contrary to the interest of the south.

The Declaration of Causes of Seceding States

Slavery was a small facet of it, it had more to do with political power. The south was not industrialized, at all, like the north and it's only real value was farming. Essentially the north was looking to crush the south politically by using slavery as a weapon.

Oh? You don't want to vote for less taxes for railroad incursion on your land? Nice slavery ya got there, be a shame if something happened to it.

It seeks not to elevate or to support the slave, but to destroy his present condition without providing a better.

There is well supported conjecture that the reason for the war was to keep the US as a single entity.
Lincoln knew the trouble Russia was having with the jews. (well documented)
Most slaver ships were owned by jews; the trade was throughout the Americas, much in South America, primarily Brazil and the Caribbean. Most slaves in Brazil were owned by jews. Auctions were cancelled on jew holy days.
Rothschild controlled most of Europe by 1850 (through economics). Many southern slave owners were jews. Rothschild's plan (conjecture, but supported) was to have the south secede, and through political/economic means, cede the south to France. The north would then be powerless, and again through political/economic means, control would be handed to Canada, therefore Britain. That would place Rothschild in control of the US, both economically and politically.

In the end, Rothschild did gain control over the whole shebang through the act in 1871. It simply required more time to attain the total control. That happened with the Titanic in 1912, followed by the fed etc in 1913. By 1972, the economy was debt based, and the jews had it all. Don't believe that? Look at the presence of aipac in DC.
Basically, we're screwed.

stupid limeys fled their country to be "free". Proceed to enslave people that had NO BUSINESS being on that land. Work to re-establish their oppressive ways. Some of them fall about listlessly, unable to cope without a central queen or king. They end up killing each other for a while, until those the union establishes a central government, which then committed the gravest, most reprehensible, action ever. They didn't return the slaves, they took people who had no education, were aggressive and angry, and just released them into society.

The civil war was a misguided effort by Northerners hell bent on keeping their deadbeat southern neighbors living in the country's figurative basement for the rest of time.

Industry. Period.
