    The north rejecting the souths comprimises is in no way proof that it was only about slavery. Its proof the north wanted to keep control, nothing more.

    “Keep control”

    … this the same USA which was dominated by Southern politics all the way up to 1860.

    Not on the souths attempts at industrialazation

    What attempts at industrialization.

    and none on the self serviing tarrifs.

    Fucking what.

    The fact the battle cry was slavery was a easy sell to the northern whites.

    “Northern white folk were invested in the Civil War because of the call to anti-slavery action, but the North also didn’t care about slavery”

    Are you being fucking serious right now.

    The very fact that you think the corruption of post war america was somehow separate from the repulicans of the time is silly.

    Jesus fucking Christ, I’d give you a lesson on the context of 1876 election if everything you’ve said up to this point wasn’t reflective of a frightening level of motivated ignorance.

    Finally how is SCOTUS striking down anti segragation laws in any way conflict with jim crow? The north had what they wanted and were apathetic to the fate of the former slaves.

    “The North didn’t give two shits about Jim Crow!”

    “The North literally passed Federal laws against segregation. They were struck down by the Supreme Court.”

    “How do anti-segregation laws in any way conflict with Jim Crow???”

    Are you fucking stupid.

      I’m just gonna answer the last one. No I’m not fucking stupid and I’ve read more civil war history than you have. You are pretty typical for someone who says they read about history. You pick and choose to match your opinion. Nothing more. You claim to know the history but claim don’t know about how tariffs of the time were geared toward northern interest. You claim you don’t know about the souths attempts to industrialize. You don’t know much or you do and choose to ignore it. I’m done. Cause I don’t have to ask if you are fucking stupid.
