It was a genocidal invasion and attack of the Southern states, because they produced what the north could not. Zero southerners moved north, it was all attack from the north into the south. An invasion. They cut off the rail roads, blew them up, cut off communications, cut off food and supplies for the entire south. Raped and pillaged the women, children, slaves, families and elderly. Destroyed livestock and farms. They starved them to death if they didn’t kill them. One would be false hero Sherman. Who avoided conflict to do everything mentioned above. History sure has a reputation of being told differently than it was written. Then again, it’s rewritten during times such as the Civil War. And times like this exactly. Close your eyes and your common sense will tell you the real story.
Cotton was the only valuable export from the US at the time. The North had a massive economic collapse when it became clear that railroads would never get any returns on the investment.

This is why slavery's abolition was inevitable, thanks to technological advances.
Pick your own damn cotton, white man.
