BA> SK> AND the Civil War wasn't about slavery! It was about economics!

Same same, nigga!

I know that the U.S. was one of the last "official" Slave States.
MY point was that we woulda kept on keeping slaves under Lincoln if it 
worked out for him. He didn't care!

The Civil War was about ECONOMICS!
And NIGGERS were the base of that U.S. economy!!!!!

IT'S A FACT! Cotton ruled!

I'm not saying that it's right, of course.

BA> SK> If the Civil War never happened under Lincoln...he wouldn't have
BA> SK> "freed  them". It's not like Lincoln cared about Blacks.

BA> SK> Eventually we (the U.S.) WOULD have freed them anyways. If only
BA> SK> because  we were one of the last "official" slave owner
BA> SK> countries. And over time  pressure would have been put upon us.
BA> SK> No war needed.

BA>Slavery became economically unfeasible after farm machinery became
BA>available in large numbers.  Which happened in the late 1800s.  
BA>Machines are cheaper to own
BA>and operate than people are, and don't have to be fed when 
BA>they're not being used.

That's after-thought. foo!

You think that the MAN still wouldn't want slave labor to work the 
fields? Shit, we still DO need slave labor to do it!
