Slavery was abolished in the United States during the Civil War, so at first the South wasn't affected by it, but after they rejoined the United States, they were pissed off about it, and tried to get revenge by putting toxic chemicals in tobacco products manufactured in the south for use in the north, only to discover how efficient it was, and that's why there are so many toxic products in cigarrettes today.
