Maybe you are a little confused. The South was the side that owned slaves and was fighting for EVIL-an evil despised by every decent human being on the planet.

The South were "the bad guys."

The North was fighting against the states that wanted to leave the union because the country had elected an anti-slavery president. Thus, it was the North (not the South) that was on the ant-slavery side. It was the South that wanted to continue a brutal regime that held people in chains and bought and sold them as property, without interference from the North.

Thus, the North were "the good guys."

I hope this helps.

The War was fought over economics and taxation-slaves were a commodity.

Thomas Jefferson acknowledged the right to suceed and wished them well. Founders supporters jump in.How can peaceful secession be treason? We did just that from England?

Lincoln was a dictator;
Why did so many states refuse to send their troops to Lincoln when he demanded them?
Read the reply from Arkansas. "...defend with our honor, lives, and property...." sound familiar?
Suspended habeas corpus, appropriated money from the treasury,shut down newspapers, imprisioned the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court,called up troops for 3 years without Congress approval. To vote in his election you had to pass through platoons of Union troops stationed at the voting booths.instituted military tribunals.refused to exchange prisioners-but also refused to export medical supplies to the south..causing deaths of his own at places like Andersonville. Lincoln "blamed" the Civil War on God.The emancipaption proclamations sole purpose was to cause a slave rebellion in the south similar to the one in Haiti.Lincoln want to colonize the slaves outside of the US and send as many free blacks with them as he could-Logistically impossible. Emancipation only applied to southern states...hmmm?

Lincoln, Sherman,Sheridan and Grant..all war criminals by any standard. Check the Geneva codes of 1863.

The Northern policies following the war were the cause and effect of the inception of the KKK.
