So true! The democrats should have to pay their descendants double.
Don’t you mean the Republicans pay their descendants double? The south was Democrat, north was Republican. If the democrats paid their descendants double, that would be giving the pro slave group more money?
But in all honesty, the civil war was fought over money/resources, like any other war. The slave thing was public motivation. Kinda like dropping a couple towers in NY.
I guess I wasn’t clear enough. Descendants of the black northern soldiers would get paid double by the democrats. In all cases the democrats pay.
The primary driver of the war was power. The North had more votes on everything because of the greater number of citizens. If instead of 3/5ths, it was 4/5ths or 5/5ths, the war may never have started. Slavery would have ended many years later.
Cotton was also a major driving force. That’s why I mentioned money/resource. South was getting rich.
