The North did not launch a war over slavery. They just didn't.

The South seceded over slavery. They launched their war to further that aim.

The South seceded over slavery.

Repeated endlessly, but doesn't actually work. They already had slavery. They weren't leaving to get something they already had. They were leaving to get something they didn't already have.

They launched their war to further that aim.

Because by leaving they were going to get more slavery?
