"the parties never switched"
North was Republican, south was democrat.
The south produced 75% of the tax revenue, the north voted for higher taxes on goods that affected the south. The north wanted to get rid of blacks and treated the free black people worse than some southerners treated their slaves.
sure there were bad slave owners. but I'm not gonna go out and slash my john deer's tires then demand it work. it makes no sense. practical business sense dictates you treat the farm equipment in a manner that keeps it moving.
and at the time that's what the slaves were. farm equipment. very expensive farm equipment.
