Was sugar as big an export as cotton at the time? You could probably spin everything but oil as a cause for the civil war :lol:

westward expansion is also ~technically~ true since a whole lot of blood was already been shed by pro-slavery terrorists in Kansas and other territories, and the slave states wanted to expand to Central and South America and also the Caribbean.

Not anymore by the 1850s, but if this was something more nuanced you could totally make an argument that sugar was the primary driver of the plantation system back in the 17th and 18th centuries and thus the progenitor of chattel slavery in the Americas, thus being a root cause of the problem that would eventually cause the southern rebellion.

sugar really only grew in the very deep south, so like maybe it was a thing for florida and parts of georgia but that was pretty much it. sugar was a much bigger deal for the caribbean, which still did use a lot of slave labor and fueled a lot of revolutions in the same general time period, but it's not technically *~american~*

quote:

Balch Springs police Chief Jonathan Haber said officers heard gunshots as they were responding to a call of drunken teens about 11 p.m. in the 12300 block of Baron Drive.
Haber said the vehicle Jordan was in backed down the road toward officers "in an aggressive manner."
An officer fired at the vehicle and struck Jordan, who was pronounced dead at a hospital, Balch Springs police said in a written statement.
The officer, who has not been named, has been placed on routine administrative leave. No officers were injured.

Dallas County District Attorney Faith Johnson offered her condolences to Jordan's family and said her office will independently investigate the shooting.
Her office has a "commitment to justice and transparency," she said.
The teen's parents are calling for justice and asking for the officer, who has been placed on routine administrative leave, to be arrested and charged, Merritt said.
He challenged the police account that the vehicle Jordan was riding in was driving aggressively.
It "will not hold water when the facts come out," he said.
Merritt said Jordan and the others in the vehicle were not the teens police had initially been called about and had not been drinking. He said they did not face any charges.


So you murder someone in a car that's aggressively backing up at you and then the driver doesn't get charged with anything in the end?
