If you think that the Civil War was not about slavery, you need to read the secession declarations adopted by the various states. They make it quite clear that they were fighting for slavery.

You are liar and are misrepresenting history. Below is a link to the ordinances of secession for the states of the south. Assuming you have the mental capacity to do a word search, the letters "slave" appears three times, in Alabama, Texas and Virginia only.

Ordinances of Secession

Southern haters are liars and statists.

So, if secession was not about slavery, what do you imagine that it was about?
