Minnesota Governor Tim Walz has signed a law guaranteeing free breakfast and lunch for all students in the state, regardless of how much money their parents make. Tens of thousands of food-insecure kids will benefit. pic.twitter.com/500q4acTre— More Perfect Union (@MorePerfectUS) March 17, 2023
Weren’t the northerners in favor of abolishing slavery because it was terribly inefficient in productivity and profits? The south basically wanted slaves because of sadism. If they Balkanize today they’re just gonna roll back to cruelty for cruelty’s sake and then fail lol
at the time the south completely dominated the government, and by leveraging their ownership of political power they were able to maintain and expand their slave state. They did not want to abolish slavery as this was the main avenue of exploitation in the less industrialized south, and the north would have a severe advantage. The impetus for the northern capitalists to abolish slavery was because of the desire to expand, and the south was constantly getting in the way of their unfettered development by way of the legal system which the south also owned.
The republicans representing the northern capitalists actually divided up the south and placed garrisons there to keep the southern democrats in a disadvantageous state, and this led to many of the progressive developments of black reconstruction, with black reconstruction being backed by the northern republicans. It wasn't until the north began to suffer from labor resistance did the collaboration between the republicans and democrats become officiated and the republicans and democrats agreed to help each other by focusing on the labor resistance in the north and black resistance in the south respectively, while dividing up the struggle between white and non-white workers to the workers unfortunate ignorance.
The republicans pulled the army out of the garrisons to crush labor while the democrats used their new privileges unhindered by the north to destroy black reconstruction.
Sadism and greed. Wealthy landowners were desperate to freeze time so they wouldn't ever have to lose profits or spend money on changing how their farms worked. Behind the mask it's always been Old Man Capitalism...
Which I think GOPers are all too happy with, since they’ll have their own impoverished fiefdoms like the Dixiecrats did in the deep south.

I've seen people describe the Civil War and Reconstruction as the USA's 1848 revolution and I kinda think your description aligns with that.
