Then please enlighten us how your schooling told you If a Yankee can be elected president without a single Souther elector
Please enlighten us how your schooling told you this caused the war, with those sources you hate me for not including.
So...I guess 'No Offense' means "I despise you", then?
So, way I was taught in my AP US History class (established to make it clear this isn't something I'm half-remembering from fifth grade, it's something I'm 3/4-remembering from Junior year), there was a shitton of tension leading up right until the civil war for many reasons, top of the list being slavery, and in turn, worry about whether this was something it was okay for central government to have say over versus state governments, as well as typical cultural divides, economic tensions and misaligned incentives and so forth and so on. Worry about Southern states being trampled over by the north's greater population and clout in the House, if not Congress, and how long it would last before they got both houses and RUINED EVERYTHING (What? Everyone engages in fearmongering, whether it's fear of people coming to take your [X], or people not giving you [X] when you just NEED it so BADLY, or letting people do [X] to you. It's useful in democracy.), met with 'Oh wait whose President? How about fuck you, if you're not gonna even give a shit about us anyway'.
And if you're able to become president without needing a certain portion of the constituency...well, you know what Republicans say about the 47% and all. Longstanding tradition, as anyone in Georgia will tell you.
Oh I'm sorry, I did have that mixed up. That was what he offered as evidence that tariff policies were anti-south. The fact that Abraham Lincoln didn't receive any electoral votes from slave states in 1860 was the evidence that tariff policies in the 1850s (and before?) were anti-south. Now I've got it.
Ah, no, I don't know if you could tell, but that was meant to end with an ellipse, and had little to do with the tariffs being anti-south. It was my way of saying 'they could see which side of the hill the shit was rolling towards, and they no longer wanted to be on that hill'.
