And also the civil war started because the north was taxing the south, but instead of using those funds in the south they were using it to build the north. The south didnt think that was right.

Also Lincoln didnt originally make slaves free he even sayed hed leave it alone if the south continued to pay taxes.
It wasnt till the north started loosing the war and recruitement was at almost a stand still that he decided to then free slaves if they served time in the military.
Its funny actually the movie "the patriot" actually put this notion in the movie but I never even noticed it before.
