Intresting.
What exactly did the Union have to gain when they fought the South during the War of Northern Aggression? Cotton and other agri products? That would not have stopped. The South was making too much money from Northern textile mills. Sure, England enjoyed the cheap cotton, but the turn around time and the quantity in trading with England wasn't near what it was with New England mills
Enough of the lecture and back on point. What did the North have to gain during then WONA?
