The European branches of my family considered America a threat to their future.  They saw an issue that could break it.  Slavery.  The North was opposed to the very idea of Slavery on religious and economic grounds.  The South depended on Slavery to maintain their economic power, but the 3/5ths representation clause in the Constitution doomed their long-term political power.  Only Southern expansion could reverse that trend.  My family helped them.
