Wrong!
Please go read the individual states' reasons for secession and come paraphrase them for us.

sure, but the norths stance on slavery was ultimately the driving force that lead to seccession. the war was not only about slavery, but its the topic that drove it

No. It was slavery. It was going to fundamentally affect their wallets and that was the problem. There was no bigger issue than slavery.

Meh. Read the ordinances that approved secession for the various states.

Wowzers, when you want to make a whale of a proposition like that, it's usually pretty prudent to try to substantiate it in SOME way. Wtf kind of half-assed obtuse shite is this? Please go read Alexander Stephens' 'Cornerstone Speech,' and then come back and try to tell me and everyone else that there were "much bigger issues." The Confederate $100 bill has a picture of slaves on it, for shite's sake. I don't like wading into all that PC shite, but historical facts are historical facts. Giving these half-assed equivocations about what the war was "really about" makes folks look like intellectually dishonest pussies imo. I've lived in the South all my life, but I'm not going to try to whitewash my state's history to feel better about myself or some shite.

Money usually precedes and follows war as assets change hands
History of Lake Providence, LA is a case study concerning cotton and both sides taking profits. Seems the northern folks were way worse between what they kept and what they spent on labor.
