Again for one state. And I'm hearing you say sovereignty is not a reason?Ok that's one state and 10 of 27 is not 27 of 27."slavery free explanation" that's an absolute fabrication... No one denies that slavery was a part of the rationale for most of the southern states.Then you should have no trouble pointing out where he lied.
Read the Secession declaration for South Carolina. Slavery wasn't merely a 'part'. It was the only specific beef that South Carolina mentioned. And they dedicate 10 of 27 paragraphs to the topic of slavery.
Again, slavery is the only specific beef they mention. The rest of the document is a legal argument for state sovereignty. An argument for HOW they are seceding.
The only argument given for WHY they are seceding....is slavery. There is no other reason given for secession but slavery related complaints.
The people of Georgia having dissolved their political connection with the Government of the United States of America, present to their confederates and the world the causes which have led to the separation. For the last ten years we have had numerous and serious causes of complaint against our non-slave-holding confederate States with reference to the subject of African slavery.
Declaration of Secession Georgia
In the momentous step which our State has taken of dissolving its connection with the government of which we so long formed a part, it is but just that we should declare the prominent reasons which have induced our course.
Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery - the greatest material interest of the world. Its labor supplies the product which constitutes by far the largest and most important portions of commerce of the earth.
Digital History
Texas abandoned her separate national existence and consented to become one of the Confederated Union to promote her welfare, insure domestic tranquility and secure more substantially the blessings of peace and liberty to her people. She was received into the confederacy with her own constitution, under the guarantee of the federal constitution and the compact of annexation, that she should enjoy these blessings. She was received as a commonwealth holding, maintaining and protecting the institution known as negro slavery-- the servitude of the African to the white race within her limits-- a relation that had existed from the first settlement of her wilderness by the white race, and which her people intended should exist in all future time. Her institutions and geographical position established the strongest ties between her and other slave-holding States of the confederacy. Those ties have been strengthened by association. But what has been the course of the government of the United States, and of the people and authorities of the non-slave-holding States, since our connection with them?

They did for a number of years.I'm not convinced it was an attempt to secede. I'm pretty sure they did secede. As for why they did there were multiple reasons and yes property rights was one of them. Sure the victors claim it was the only reason but we all know better.Well some southerners were born in central GA from parents who were raised in KY and GA and were then raised in South FL, and currently live in Central TX. So yes, I'm aware of variances across the south. Still one thing is common... damn yankees are still blaming the south for slavery when ironically the yankees started it.Southerners have a unique culture, accents, and don't agree with Northerners on a great many topics. As such, you'll consistently see Northerners talking down on Southerners out of had. This brings out a great deal of mutual dislike.
LOL....Southerners have different cultures than the North- but even Southerners can't agree on their 'unique culture'. The Southerner from coastal Charleston and Savannah is not the same as the Southerner in central Alabama is not the same as the 'Southerner' in east Texas.
Yeah..........
I don't blame the 'South' just because slavery existed in the South. I don't really blame the 'South' for anything. I blame the Confederacy, and Confederate leaders for attempting to secede to protect their slave property, and for starting a war that killed so many Americans.
But i don't blame the South- or Southerners for that.
No. In order to secede....you have to succeed.
They didn't.

Not just 'one state'. The first state to secede. With the other 'confederate' states following North Carolina's lead.

Enlisted with the promise of blood, money, property, booty all taken by force from the south..No, they did secede and formed their own Country. The reason there is no Confederate States of America is the murderous north bought hundreds of thousands of soldiers for hire from Europe to kill millions of women and children in the southern states for the promise of money, land, and booty. Ironically slavery was about to end across the world anyway.I'm not convinced it was an attempt to secede. I'm pretty sure they did secede.

I am pretty sure that they didn't seceded- which is why there is no Confederate States of America still around defending their right to own human property.
If you want to know the reason for the attempted secession- read up on the Presidential campaign that ended with Lincoln being elected- the primary reason was 'states rights'- to own human property.
Wow.....is this what they teach you in Cloud Coo Coo Land?
The Confederate states attempted to secede. There is no Confederate States because they did not succeed.
The Confederate States attempted to secede in order to protect the property rights over human property.
The North enlisted millions of immigrants- didn't hire any mercenaries from Europe.
There were not millions of women and children killed in the Southern states.
And slavery was ending in much of the world- but the Confederate States seceded in order to ensure it did not happen in the South.
Clearly the majority of slaves in America were freed before the enactment of the 13th Amendment
Well manumission had been happening since the late 1700s across the South. No telling how many slaves were freed by their owners. Slaves did not become constitutionally free citizens until the 13th, 14th and 15th were ratified.
And again- the majority of slaves in America were freed prior to the enactment of the 13th Amendment- which was enacted 8 months after the end of the Civil War, and the majority of slaves were freed from slavery.
Former slaves and the remaining legal slaves did not become full citizens until the 13th Amendment was enacted.
Until the Emanicpation Proclamation the slaves were seized under the Confiscation Act of 1862. They weren't free, but they were the property of the United States government. Which lead to an odd situation where for about a year, the US government owned thousands of slaves.

Former slaves and the remaining legal slaves did not become full citizens until the 13th Amendment was enacted.
And I will repeat... Manumission had been happening since the mid 18th century across the South. You can keep saying the slaves were freed if that makes you feel warm and fuzzy but history documents they were freed when the US ratified the 13th Amendment.
Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction.
Now, the "majority of slaves" lived in the South because that's where you grow cotton. From 1861-1864 the South was not controlled by the Union, it had declared independence and established it's own government. President Lincoln had no way to implement his EP in the South. He proclaimed it, he couldn't implement it.
Until the Emanicpation Proclamation the slaves were seized under the Confiscation Act of 1862. They weren't free, but they were the property of the United States government. Which lead to an odd situation where for about a year, the US government owned thousands of slaves.
We won't mention the tens of thousands of slaves who died during this period of disease, neglect and malnutrition while in custody of the US government. We also won't mention the Union Army using slave labor to bury bodies and clean up the aftermath of war.
Ok I read them myself.. WTF was wrong with the people that wrote those documents, effing slavers.Yes, I do notice a pattern of editing.Again for one state.

What the hell are you talking about?
Just like in the Confederacy, troops were promised their pay and not much else. There were no promises of 'blood' or of 'property' or of 'booty'. The fact of the matter was that immigrants to the United States settled largely in the North- and there was a vast supply of able immigrant young men who could use a paying job, fighting for their newly adopted country.
Have you ever even read a history book?

We know one thing for sure- because of the actions of Abraham Lincoln, all of slaves in the United States were freed from legal slavery- through Lincoln's Emancipation Act- most were freed- the remaining were freed because of the 13th Amendment which passed Congress with Lincoln's active support.
We also know one other thing- the Confederate States seceded to protect slave ownership rights, the Confederate Constitution spells out protections to slavery rights
In all such territory, the institution of negro slavery as it now exists in the Confederate States, shall be recognized and protected by Congress, and by the territorial government: and the inhabitants of the several Confederate States and Territories, shall have the right to take to such territory any slaves lawfully held by them in any of the states or territories of the Confederate states.[32]

Once again- the areas in red were the areas where slaves were immediately freed by the Emancipation Proclamation- despite the revisionist history that some are trying to create-

That's because the volunteers were volunteering as they came off the boat from Europe. Welcome to America, you're an American now, get in this line for your paycheck and musket. The draft was small because the north dodged the draft.Yes. I read that Americans from the north did not want to kill their brothers in the south and that the North had to instead turn to Europeans. What have you read?Enlisted with the promise of blood, money, property, booty all taken by force from the south..No, they did secede and formed their own Country. The reason there is no Confederate States of America is the murderous north bought hundreds of thousands of soldiers for hire from Europe to kill millions of women and children in the southern states for the promise of money, land, and booty. Ironically slavery was about to end across the world anyway.
Wow.....is this what they teach you in Cloud Coo Coo Land?
The Confederate states attempted to secede. There is no Confederate States because they did not succeed.
The Confederate States attempted to secede in order to protect the property rights over human property.
The North enlisted millions of immigrants- didn't hire any mercenaries from Europe.
There were not millions of women and children killed in the Southern states.
And slavery was ending in much of the world- but the Confederate States seceded in order to ensure it did not happen in the South.
What the hell are you talking about?
Just like in the Confederacy, troops were promised their pay and not much else. There were no promises of 'blood' or of 'property' or of 'booty'. The fact of the matter was that immigrants to the United States settled largely in the North- and there was a vast supply of able immigrant young men who could use a paying job, fighting for their newly adopted country.
Have you ever even read a history book?
Almost two and a half million men fought for the Union.
Only about about 2% were draftees.
About 6% were substitutes paid by draftees.
It was by and large -- a hugely Volunteer, and American army.
I've read it in books.. but I'll cite for you to wiki since that's easy to google.Yes.

Opposition to the American Civil War - Wikipedia the free encyclopedia
"Between July 1863 and April 1865, four national drafts resulting in a call of 776,829 men took place, but of these men only 46,347 were held to service. Although most men who opposed and dodged the draft did so legally, many still refused to report to the draft office and illegally avoided it. Between July 1863 and December 1864, 161,224 men failed to report to service under the draft. The large amount of draft dodgers indicated the amount of opposition to fighting in the war."
