That doesnt change anything I said. The North still fought to impose a dictorial federal government.
Truth hurts but its still the truth.
So you think that the United States is a dictatorship?
If you look at the causes the originally propelled the Union and the Confederacy to warfare it was the United States army fighting to preserve the Union and the Confederate States army fighting to protect slavery. Read the words of Lincoln, read the words of the secessionists in their state declarations of causes.
That's not to say that other causes were not the important factors to individual soldiers. Many reb soldiers fought not for slavery, but merely to combat a perceived external threat and there were Union soldiers whose goal from the beginning was to eradicate slavery.
