[QUOTE="HOSS, post: 1034938, member: 1863"] The slavery issue was pushed in order to tie an emotional element to the war to gain support from those that were not politically engaged. They needed a trigger and that one happened to be the biggest hot button issue that they could exploit. If they publicly touted the revenue side it would have highlighted the tax burden disparity and nobody likes taxes.......even the northerners would have been sympathetic. [/QUOTE]
