I suggest if you haven’t, you read the Declaration of Independence. That explains the difference between
1. a war started by England against the Colonies to support a pretended right to tax, and
2. a war started by the slave power in an attempt to preserve the institution of human slavery and seize territories that were shared with the free states.

Yeah, I think i'm done trying to view history through your distorted lens of it. You can't even get the British/Colonists war right, so it certainly isn't worth listening to you about the Civil war.
