[QUOTE]Originally posted by SeekingFreedom: [QB] Glass, you are lumping decades of time together as though nothing changed during it. At the time of the Revolution, the South 'needed' their slaves and the North 'needed' the South to fight against the British. That is why the various compromises were made. The fact that the British had become anti-slavery both drove the South into the Union and kept the Brits out of the Civil War later so that they would not be seen as supporting slavery. I'll find the exact numbers later, but if you get a minute look at the Lincoln's election and the electoral college results. Even though EVERY SOUTHERN STATE voted against him he still won. That was the last straw for the South...they knew that the North could (and would) legislate an end to slavery and their way of life, and there was nothing they could do to stop it. By the way, nice dodge on Douglas. [/QB][/QUOTE]
