The war was over money, but the propaganda was all about slavery after the conscription act law was passed.

I'm trying to grasp your point here, but I can see two ways to interpret it.

1. Conscription = slavery.
2. "Slavery" was used as propaganda tool in an effort to rally popular support after unpopular conscription was imposed.
