I hear you, but I don't think that's the lens of the time prior to the war. Going back to the books it looks like my simplified sentence mischaracterized and oversimplify what was going on. Northern industry was struggling to move into the South and replace slave labor, to again oversimplify due to initial CapEx and supplanting one caste system for another.
So we're making different arguments and talking past one another to an extent.
The North's problem was more like Chiquita banana's problem with Guatemala.
