The Issue of Slavery

The simple listing of U.S. presidents, that I posted in Part II, serves to show the reader, that the Democratic Party was the party of slavery and segregation. That statement is easily verified using other sources, so I wont belabor it.
The lead up to the War Between the States (the Civil War) its cause and the aftermath have been edited out of almost every history book, printed in the U.S. This political editing, or abridgement, was done at the state and local levels, by school boards, all across the country. They would not place an order, with a publisher, who refused to edit out, what they didnt like. These groups are largely peopled by Democrats, for the simple reason that they are by and large all employees, with regular work hours. The Republicans, they worked for, were still at work, during school board meeting times. This may seem overly simplistic, but how many second shift workers go to parent/teacher meetings or are in the PTA? History sometimes turns, on the simplest of reasons.

As the U.S. acquired the lands, required to control all of the territory between both coasts (Manifest Destiny), a movement was afoot, to turn these billions of acres into agricultural super producers, using slave labor. Every southern state was controlled by Democrats and they were united in their goal, to take control of these fertile, western lands and reap huge profits, on the backs of black slaves.

TheMissouri Compromisewas an agreement, passed in 1820 between theDemocratsandanti-slaveryfactions in theUnited States Congress, involving primarily the regulation of slavery in thewestern territories. The bill set out to keep a balanced number, of free and slave states; Maine was admitted to the Union as a free state, while the new state of Missouri allowed slavery. This was the best that the coalition of small political parties could hope for in their bid, to end slavery, against the powerful Democratic Party.

TheKansasNebraska Actof 1854 was proposed byDemocratic SenatorStephen A. Douglas,ofIllinois. It created the territories ofKansasandNebraska, opening up new lands for settlement, and basically nullified the Missouri Compromiseof 1820 by allowing settlers in those territories to vote them free or to allow slavery, throughPopular Sovereignty.This brand of self-determinationwas written into the proposal and immediately caused pro- and anti-slavery elements to flood into Kansas, with the intention of voting slavery up or down, leading tobloody factional fighting, throughout the new territories.
A wave of anger swept across the North, as anti-slavery elements felt betrayed, by the new act. Kansas had been officially closed to slavery, since the Missouri Compromise, which was now repealed; that meant trouble. Opponents denounced the law as a triumph of the hatedslave power– the political power of the rich Democratic slave owners, who would buy up the best lands in Kansas and till the soil, using slave labor.

The newRepublican Party, which was created out of the several small abolitionist parties, was in opposition to the KansasNebraska Act and aimed to stop the westward expansion of slavery. It soon emerged, as the dominant political party in the North, electing Abraham Lincoln its first president in 1860.

When it was clear, that Lincoln and the Republicans would forever try to exclude slavery, from the West, South Carolina seceded from the United States of America.

The following is a quote from The Declaration of Causes of Secession, written on December 24, 24, 1860

The people of the State of South Carolina, in Convention assembled, on the 26th day of April, A.D., 1852, declared that the frequent violations of the Constitution of the United States, by the Federal Government, and its encroachments upon the reserved rights of the States, fully justified this State in then withdrawing from the Federal Union; but in deference to the opinions and wishes of the other slaveholding States, she forbore at that time to exercise this right. Since that time, these encroachments have continued to increase, and further forbearance ceases to be a virtue.

In other words – weve waited for eight years, to move slavery, into the West and we will wait no longer.

Abraham Lincoln took office on March 4, 1861 and South Carolina fired on the federal Fort Sumter at 4:30 am April 12, 1861. The War Between the States or the American Civil War, had started, with that first 10 inch cannon round.

The American Civil War had only one real cause SLAVERY.
