t5he civil war WAS NOT about slavery.... look at the unratified 13th amendment and its formulation. I have said all along if the Southern States would have known that it was not easy to get out of the union they never would have joined it in the first place.

All the Declarations of Secession state slavery as the reason for secession. Especially this line from Mississppi's:

"Our position is thoroughly identified with the institution of slavery..."
