Yep. The overwhelming majority of soldiers in the Confederate forces fought for slavery just as those US soldiers who fought in Iraq did so because they wanted to keep the oil flowing to the free world, right?

Nope. That was the ruling elites of both wars who wanted those goals. The people and soldiers were manipulated and fed different, “patriotic” reasons to accomplish the task.
