Obviously, you are a product of public school.
You do not know the "facts".
The secessionist movement was driven by economics. The industrial north put undue tax and tarrif burdens on the agricultural south. That all began in the 1820's.
Lincoln putting slaves in the mix was a cynical effort to use a populist movement to further pressure the south.
If you think a bunch of southern poor boy white farmers went to war to preserve slavery for fewer than 1% of the plantations that owned them, you are out of your mind.
That's not "revisionist", that's true. You are the one spouting tainted history.

Why did hundreds of thousands or millions of poor white boy farmers go to war for their kings and princes in the 30 Years War? Hundred Years War?
Feudal systems get the serfs to fight for 'em.
