I am the first to admit that I know very little about history compared to just about anybody, but I think I agree with Carl on this one as well.

The South wanted to secede from the union. Dividing the union was the one thing the President did not want to happen. But, ultimately, the reason the South wanted to secede was because they were afraid of financial setbacks if they could not use forced labor.
