Why must we dumb it down to a single cause? Maybe it was asymmetric... that is, about slavery for the north, and about states rights for the south.
If only the South had written down why they wanted to separate...
Yeah it's to bad we don't have well written missives from each of the states that seceded, I guess we'll never know.
and about states rights to enslave, beat and rape humans for the south.
Yes. Or even more accurately, to leave and be left alone while doing that.
Except no, it was 100% a lie in the South, too. The first fucking thing they did after secession was to write themselves a constitution that was mostly copy-pasted from the US Constitution except for where they explicitly removed states' rights to abolish slavery.
Nah, it was slavery for the south. For the north, it was about keeping the union together and slavery second.
