Sorry but the civil war was not about slavery. The root cause of the civil war was that the Southern States were losing power in the US senate, as more and more States were admitted to the union the more power Southern States lost. The civil war was all about power in government and had little if anything to do with slavery. That the end result was the abolition of slavery is a good thing. But to say it was all about slavery is a misread of history. Anyone that believes the north and Lincoln fought the civil war because they wanted slavery abolished don’t understand that the North had indentured servants and was fine with their form of slavery. The revisionist historians want to make the war about slavery when in the end it was only about political power.
