We were not there, my understanding is that it was not all about slavery, the South had no say in Congress because the North had control and had excluded the South from any say in Governance.
And from recently seeing the above, how was slavery approached? Did the North want to end slavery to hurt the South financially? Was there any plan to minimize pain? Slavery was wrong, but people were dependent on it. Thankfully the cotton gin was invented soon after, now America just gets the Chinese to make all their shoes in sweatshops. Some Negroes were better treated than the Chinese doing 12 hr days sleeping in little cubicles at night and paid just enough to keep them alive.
