I appreciate your thoughtful response. However, I think the poor Whites resented slavery for it made them have to compete with free labor. For them, the fight was not about slavery, but a cultural one, and one in which their homes and family were being terrorized. Also, you are forgetting the revolts in the North against war. The war was not popular there.
I dont even know where to start with this horse shite. Southerners who did not own slaves still supported slavery as a part of their culture or as they put it their “peculiar institution”. Slavery was ingrained in everything in the South and fear of free slaves or a slave rebellion was immense. The revolts in the North were mainly about the draft which the Union allowed wealthy men to buy their way out of.

Fear of slaves was warranted. Do you know what happened to Whites in Haiti? Do you not think Southern Whites had a clue about the propensity to greater violence among slaves? Today, the data backs up their fears. Or will you deny that?
