For once my history teacher gave us an essay about our real opinion. :eek:

Would the Southern states, who seceded, have seceded had there been no slaves?

:confused:
Right now im not so sure about the topic cause its so... controversial (is that the right word?)? Like maybe they would have b/c of the greater northern economic and cultural machine but once slavery is added in, no idea what would happen... Some help would be useful!!! :p
