If the civil war was only about slavery - then how do you explain that slavery was legally carried out in the “union” after the civil war, and that the emancipation proclamation freed only some slaves?
(No slaves in the union were freed and those slaves in certain parishes in LA were excluded from the proclamation.)

Why do you think that point is pertinent? Didn't you read the first speech? Don't you know when the states seceded? How does the Emancipation Proclamation fit in?
You are all over the place.
