Re: RE: Other Causes of the War besides Slavery

That's the reason it was called "Mr. Lincoln's War" and "The War of Northern Aggression".

Slavery was NOT the cause of the War. BUT it was a part of the serious mistrust of the federal government in congress with the political infighting between the states, the Abolishionist movement, and finally "Bleeding Kansas".

Slavery wasn't the cause. It was Mr. Lincoln and his Galena, Illinois band of thugs (Elihu Washburne, Winfield Scott, David Hunter, Jesse Grant) that took advantage of that political atmosphere to change the Constitution. The Constitution of 1787 died April 1865.
