The north rejecting the souths comprimises is in no way proof that it was only about slavery. Its proof the north wanted to keep control, nothing more. There were no comprimies. None. Not on the souths attempts at industrialazation and none on the self serviing tarrifs. The fact the battle cry was slavery was a easy sell to the northern whites. Kinda like round of all the browns and throw them out is today. The very fact that you think the corruption of post war america was somehow separate from the repulicans of the time is silly.
Finally how is SCOTUS striking down anti segragation laws in any way conflict with jim crow? The north had what they wanted and were apathetic to the fate of the former slaves.
