The fear was factories worked by slaves for free being fundamentally unfair to the north from an economic perspective. People feared there would be no more free labor and that people wouldnt be able to make a living in an industrial society, which shockingly similar to the issues we are having now with near total automation in manufacturing. The problem with your argument is that Lincoln was so fucking moderate. He wasnt Seward and he wasnt for immediate abolition. He was for a slow graduated system away from slavery that you suggest the country was headed for. He didnt even take office before the South seceded. The South forced the issue. They got smacked for being dickheads and basically deserved it. --- Board 8's Voice of Reason http://i.imgur.com/chXIw06.jpg ... Copied to Clipboard! |
