They had investors in the north financing the plantation operations.

You don't invest in something unless you are going to make a profit. Where were all of the ridiculous profits coming from?

Slave labor. No wages.

What @JohnnyGtar said. Slave labor means big profits. Northern investors helped fund a lot of the slave trade.

Right. So what (if anything) were we debating? I'm confused.

This thread reminds me of the time I went to the Megadeth show, drank four $13 beers and tried to climb onto the stage.

?

Damn, $13? They were all $25+ at my last show. Ridiculous.
I miss dive bar shows, just not all of the people.

I guess now I wonder why if both sides profited so heavily from slavery, why start a war under the guise of it?

They didn't. That's revisionist history at work.

Do you really think we fought in Korea, or Viet Nam to "stop the spread of communism" ?

My theory is the real reason was to establish a precedent for a more powerful, centralized, federal government that many warned us against.

Wasn’t the confederacy much more powerful though, government wise? Much more a republic than a democracy it seems

There it is, I knew you weren’t joking earlier.

But really though, it was totally about slavery.

In Viet Nam ?

 

[Dan Gleesak]

In Viet Nam ?

I’m just gonna stay on the current topic of the civil war, don’t mind me

I'm not qualified to answer that question I just have family papers and history documenting some of the plantation life in my family line.

That's not the OP.. at all.

I have some family paperwork around our lineage with Johnny Appleseed, but that’s a different kind of plantation
