city loved the south. southerners visited new york city, southern aristocracy had a strong relationship with new york city. the question is, with the most powerful financial city in america, basically barely almost on the other side, not quite, but there were people in new york city that wanted to sit need and join us -- wanted to secede and join the confederacy, although that would not have worked well. if you are linked in you have to look at the financial capital which was and is new york city looking pro-confederate, and deeply involved in the slave system. what do you do with that? well, i don't do anything. [laughter] fred kaplan: obviously. this is a dilemma, this is part of the complication of the world lincoln lived in. economic interdependency of the northern and southern parts of the american economy, up until the civil war, are just so tight, so inseparable. in between the south and the north in every sense, in every form. material.provides raw , prior to the increasing industrialization and the

in between the south and the north in every sense, in every form. the south provides raw material. the north, prior to the in the 1840's and 1850's, provides the financing for the cotton industry, which is the biggest, most profitable, most highly capitalized industry in the country. and so the north provides the capital and provides insurance. it provides shipping, it provides factories, it provides every element of the inter-workings of the relationship between law product and getting the raw produce to market and getting it transformed into shirts and also, and products for people to buy that cotton is the basis of, both in the north and in europe , where a great deal of it is going to. so, yes. and this was again, your point is a very important one and revealing one. but this is -- there is a great deal of discussion and work on this today. and, you know, i mean, one of the major colleges at yale university has now got a new name. it used to be called calhoun college, john calhoun. brown university in rhode island, the southern, very favorite vacation and watering spot of the so

the south started the war to save slavery. it believed that lincoln and the republican party would take a nation down the road was financial destination would be elimination of slavery. that road would be a long one. for the south, it would be the debt by 1000 cuts. the first cut would be allowing slavery to exist outside of the states that already had it. this is what lincoln and the republican party campaigned on in 1960. like many americans, lincoln believed the war would be short. he never imagined it would be as long as it turned out to be. he of to this house would relent or the armies would be quickly defeated. slow to realize -- he was very slow to realize that no peace for solution or wartime compromise was possible. during the war, lincoln stumbled in his choice of strategies. mostly because he misjudged the south. he believes compromise was possibl -- he believed, as was possible. he looked for a solution short of a work, he looked for a solution -- short of a war, he looked for a solution that would allow the south
