David,

I agree 100%. I do not see a way can produce this info with someone playing the devils advocate and pushing us to do more research. In my opinion, I have done all that I can to provide factual info on the SHAPE website, I do not know where to go from here.

I have been sent some very good articles on tariffs etc and all point to the South as providing the most money to the US government

What we need in someone to take these facts and write them down in a book format
so that we may share with the general public. However I do know that someone with a biased view will never admit the causes of the war.
