• i got one thing to say, i was taught that the cotton jin increased slave labor because the cottone industry was dieing until it came along and then instead of ending slavery it actually revived it

• LOL You must have been taught in a union school! There were other factors as well such as better impliments to farm with allowing more work to be done with less labor.
  
  Rember this, this was Lincoln's war because the Union was going into a financial depression. The south had already seceded from the Union. The south was the major tax base for the Union. the south seceded because it felt it was not getting it's moneys worth from the taxes paid. Shades of the Boston Tea Party a number of years earlier with England.
  The south tried a number of times to deal with Lincoln and the Union but Lincoln wanted his "War of Northern Aggression" and pushed the south into the war. The war had little to do with the actual war until the turn-coat Lincoln passed laws against a foreign country. Lincoln was pro-slavery until it became unpopular in the north.
  Go study your US history and learn the truth but don't always read history written in the north.
