The North wanted the cotton and a big part of the money via taxation the South generated.
At the time before Lincoln started the Civil War the Southern states had the 3rd largest economy in the world. It soon becomes obvious that Jews were in power and control of the Confederate South (Judah P. Benjamin), the many Northern Jews surrounding Lincoln including Salomon Rothschild, well go figure.
The North was only aggressive about getting a big piece of the profits from the South and wanted to Federally rule the South. Freeing the slaves was a Federal addition with the 1865 passing of the 13th Amendment to force the states to follow the 1863 Emancipation Proclamation after the blunder of Lincoln's agreement and Congress passing of the Corwin Amendment in 1861 to allow the FOREVER keeping of slaves in those states that already kept slaves. Lincoln kicked off the war after 6 states ratified the Corwin, with the Fort Sumpter skirmish.
Not much makes people, especially Jews, more aggressive to the point of starting a war than gaining wealth. Breaking the economy of the South, through excessive tariffs and such, helped destabilize the South into the full on Civil War.
I imagine Blackrock and Vanguard are salivating with this eventual civil war Biden is creating with his Jan 20, 2021 reversal of 95 Trump EOs now creating conditions for Fort Sumpter type scarcity civil wars in USA through massive immigration.
Texas has the largest economy these days, I keep an eye on news from that state, as well as New York.
But hey, I enjoyed my visit to the sacred
1868 built Rothschild House now museum up in Washington State.
It's really surprising how many early USA businesses they owned, land they owned before and bought up after the Civil War.
The Corwin Amendment was a resolution to amend the Constitution of the United States to forever guarantee the right of the Southern people to own slaves, proposed by Republicans in 1861. President Abraham Lincoln transmitted a copy of the amendment to the governors of the states,
It also was written and passed to prevent the war.

Passed by Congress on January 31, 1865, and ratified on December 6, 1865, the 13th Amendment abolished slavery in the United States.
In 1863 President Lincoln issued the
Emancipation Proclamation declaring “all persons held as slaves within any State, or designated part of a State, the people whereof shall then be in rebellion against the United States, shall be then, thenceforward, and forever free.” Nonetheless, the Emancipation Proclamation did not end slavery in the nation since it only applied to areas of the Confederacy currently in a state of rebellion (and not even to the loyal “border states” that remained in the Union). Lincoln recognized that the Emancipation Proclamation would have to be followed by a constitutional amendment in order to guarantee the abolishment of slavery.
The 13th Amendment was passed at the end of the Civil War before the Southern states had been restored to the Union, and should have easily passed in Congress. However, though the Senate passed it in April 1864, the House initially did not. At that point, Lincoln took an active role to ensure passage through Congress. He insisted that passage of the 13th Amendment be added to the Republican Party platform for the upcoming 1864 Presidential election. His efforts met with success when the House passed the bill in January 1865 with a vote of 119–56.
On February 1, 1865, President Abraham Lincoln approved the Joint Resolution of Congress submitting the proposed amendment to the state legislatures. The necessary number of states (three-fourths) ratified it by December 6, 1865. The 13th Amendment to the United States Constitution provides that "Neither slavery nor involuntary servitude, except as a punishment for crime whereof the party shall have been duly convicted, shall exist within the United States, or any place subject to their jurisdiction."
With the adoption of the 13th Amendment, the United States found a final constitutional solution to the issue of slavery. The 13th Amendment, along with the
14th and
15th, is one of the trio of Civil War amendments that greatly expanded the civil rights of Americans.
