Of course, it was a fight for supremacy between the northern industrial complex and the southern agricultural states, of course both wanted a different management of the economy. The problem was the north needed to stop the secession of the south because it would have hindered their hegemonic projects. But then, you are called the "united" "states" so I guess the southerners had a RIGHT to secede. About the crap they feed you about slavery and stuff, that was only the excuse, after all USA did not go to war with other states over slavery. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[EMAIL PROTECTED] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
