The war was not begun over slavery as both sides had vested interests and there were slaveholders as well as slaves on both sides, that is the point.
Your statement that claiming the Emancipation Proclamation was a military document intended to foment insurrection in the seceded states of the Confederacy is idiotic, is in and of itself idiotic. Read, woman (or at least you come across that way to me, certainly don’t mean to assume your gender or anything).
The Southern leaders of the time would disagree with you.
"The South had always been solid for slavery and when the quarrel about it resulted in a conflict of arms, those who had approved the policy of disunion took the pro-slavery side. It was perfectly logical to fight for slavery, if it was right to own slaves." [John S. Mosby, Mosby's Memoirs, p. 20]
In the momentous step which our State has taken of dissolving its connection with the government of which we so long formed a part, it is but just that we should declare the prominent reasons which have induced our course.
Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery, the greatest material interest of the world. --Mississppi Declaration of the Causes of Secession
What was the reason that induced Georgia to take the step of secession? This reason may be summed up in one single proposition. It was a conviction, a deep conviction on the part of Georgia, that a separation from the North-was the only thing that could prevent the abolition of her slavery. -- Speech of Henry Benning to the Virginia Convention
"History affords no example of a people who changed their government for more just or substantial reasons. Louisiana looks to the formation of a Southern confederacy to preserve the blessings of African slavery, and of the free institutions of the founders of the Federal Union, bequeathed to their posterity." -- Address of George Williamson, Commissioner from Louisiana to the Texas Secession Convention
"Our people have come to this on the question of slavery. I am willing, in that address to rest it upon that question. I think it is the great central point from which we are now proceeding, and I am not willing to divert the public attention from it." - Lawrence Keitt
Your statement that claiming the Emancipation Proclamation was a military document intended to foment insurrection in the seceded states of the Confederacy is idiotic, is in and of itself idiotic.
If you read the Emancipation Proclamation you will see is explicitly condemned slave uprisings, and the fact that there were none relating to the proclamation is further evidence that no such uprisings were part of the plan.

Read my profile and you would see that gender is one of the few things you have been right about.
