Was it really a civil war, I thought the south was just trying to Secede and not try to overthrow Washington DC?

Yep. The South was fighting for states rights and today we are still in that battle.

The only "right" the South was fighting for was the right to use the whip and lash. Slavery was the ONLY reason it seceded.
