I agree that the North initially would not fight a war just over slavery. The aim of the North at the start of the war was to preserve the Union of the existing states. The aim of the South in attempting to succede was about preserving slavery. There were probably other minor issues but had a Democrat won the election and presumably been open to the expansion of slavery the War would not have started as it did. So to say it wasn’t about slavery is wrong. Slavery was the dominant issue.
