No, that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that it was in the best interest of Texan / American capital for Texas to remain a slave state. Slaves cost less than wage laborers to do the same work and bankers, slave traders, bounty hunters, textile manufacturers, and ship owners profited handsomely from ongoing slavery, too.

I don't know much about the rest of this stuff and it seems you might not either:

"Between 1774 and 1804, all of the northern states abolished slavery" - maybe that's why the EP only covered Confederate states.
