Ah,, why was there a need for the under ground railroad if slavery was outlawed? Why are you so interested in the poor south of that time? You have not roots there at that time,

The slave trade was outlawed in 1807 in both the US and England. William Wilberforce was a leader in the movement to abolish slavery in England in the early 1800's. This spread to the US and the formation of the under-grown railroad. I am interested why you think the poor south supported the larger, more affluent North.

As to the symbols of the South which rebelled over being screwed in the
tax code, to fund bailouts of northern industrial interests they had
every right to leave. Slavery was never the issue until Lincoln, then
loosing the war, made it one to prop up support for all the other evils
he was perpetrating under the excuse of the war. The worst of these
evils is with us today in the form of worthless paper currency which
enslaves us all.
