you might want to read a book, although I agree that TDS is the cause of wanting to destroy inanimate objects,
the civil war was an act of Northern aggression, nothing more
the South was more than willing to free the slaves, just needed more money for their cotton if they were to pay the people picking the cotton for their labor
cotton was the cash crop, and the North was reaping the profit, to industrialize "the North",
The South said, do your thing, we'll do ours, we will sell OUR cotton to England and use OUR profits for OUR prosperity, pretty American concept really
