Interesting. It is the first time I have ever seen that video.
The Civil War was not about slavery, try to learn history instead of propaganda. In Lincoln the Butcher's own words:
"My paramount object in this struggle is to save the Union, and is not either to save or to destroy slavery. If I could save the Union without freeing any slave I would do it, and if I could save it by freeing all the slaves I would do it; and if I could save it by freeing some and leaving others alone I would also do that. What I do about slavery, and the colored race, I do because I believe it helps to save the Union";
