A generation later, in the 1860’s, the Civil War between northern and southern states resulted in large part from a dispute about the character of financial burdens –amp at least from the South’s perspective. Abraham Lincoln’s original proposal to end the immoral practice of slavery by compensating slave owners for manumission was unacceptably expensive, so the Union, according to the slave-holding Confederacy, was determined to expropriate the South.
几十年后，在19世纪60年代，如何为财政负担定性的争论成为引发美国内战的一大原因，至少南方是这么认为的。亚伯拉罕·林肯最初的建议——补偿奴隶主解放农奴的行为，从而终结不道德的奴隶制——在财政上根本无法承担，因此北方联邦——根据蓄奴联邦的说法——决定剥夺南方的蓄奴权。
